Default 1/5 th sig cub complete!

Happy to announce completion and 3 successfull flights. Took me six months for my first build. Flew great, needed a bit of down trim. Climbs at 1/2 throttle, and flies gently at 1/4 (Evolution 60). Took a few tries and long aproaches to land. Reallly floats. Taxi's very nicely and had no problems in long grass (lots of clippings ,3 weeks of rain ). Takes off in about 20'. Might add mixing for ruddder, or may leave it as is to increase my skills. Thanks to all for answering my questions. Only things i would change is fit my windshield farther back and a better color match on struts cowling etc.

Congratulations on your first kit build. How does it handle in the wind? What was the wind speed during your flights? THanks

Wind was light , think about 10 kmh. And yup i love it . Do need to use rudder though. Will take some getting used too, but thats okay.
