I have got to MOVE-Wisconsin sucks 6 months out of a year. Screw Ice fishing. I wanna fly!
Try Alberta! Yes, the weather sucks here, too.[:@]

Everything I do is summer based. My winter time is spent chasing kids around to hockey rinks and working out to stay in shape for riding in the summer...

Oh yeah, beautiful model Frenchie. I have thought about building one for a TT 36Pro I have sitting on the shelf, just haven't got there yet.

Added new landing gear to the Kobra. I got tired of changing props.

The good thing about Houston is I can fly all year long!

Now that looks durable. Does your tail wheel wire run up into the rudder??

Yes. The tail wheel wire goes up to the rudder. I didn't want to use 6 servos like cptcrusty.
With the gear moved forward, there is a lot more weight on the tail wheel so I can now control it on the ground.

Here's a little update on my Sig Kobra:
I swapped out the K&B .48 for an OS 50 SX I found on ebay. I also added a Jett muffler. I clocked it at 141 with my GPS with a 10x8 prop. I switched to a 9x7 for more RPM and I clocked it at 142. Now I need to try a 9x8 prop.
