Default Sig Kommander Plans

Hi All,

Looking for a set of Sig Kommander plans. Sig still offers the instruction book, but not the plans.

Thanks!

Darn, I almost won a bid on Ebay for one of those....can't remember if there were much to the plans - foam wing and all....but I guess there had to be something as the fuse was built up and the canopy was an engineering nightmare

tailskid,

Thanks. I built one in the 70s. I remember the canopy being a challenge. It was removable and attached with the wing. The fuse was box-shaped with triangular longerons rounded over. The instruction book is just not enough.

If you don't mind going a little smaller, Sig still carries the Kavalier kit. It is hard to find a hobby shop that carries it though. From what I have read the Kavalier is the smaller version of the Komander.

Thanks jrcaster. I came across a Kommander kit without plans or instructions. As I mentioned, Sig offers the manual but not the plans.

The Kavalier is similar to the Kommander but is smaller.

Thanks for helping out,

wing is a bit different in shape. the kavalier i think is a constant chord. I had a kommander that i put the gear where the kavalier does and it did get often confused for it.

If you are talking about the Kommander Kit on Flea Bay, it does not have any plans with it.

No, the Kavalier is not a constant cord. Leading edge tapers back and trailing edge tapers forward. Thicker at the root also.

I can see why you want the Kommander, the Kavalier is a good flying plane.

It has been a long time but I dont remember any plans with it. I remember cutting out the printed wood and I think you use the lines on it to build it. 1983 so it was a long time ago. You just squared the bulkheads on the top deck where the printed lines were added the sides lining up those lines and add bottom sheeting. I think there was only a manual.

Do you still have the SigKommander plans? I could use whatever you have. Thank you.

I have the complete set. In fact, I have been using them recently to... maybe... someday... complete the build I started 26 years ago when my first born started to walk and I had to put it up. I still have all the pieces required to build new.

Do you still have "plans" for the Komander that you were building when this was last posted? I want to create a complete set for my "soon to complete" MK1 version. It's 80% assembled but I don't recall that kit containing any plans; most parts were printed direct to the balsa sheets. I believe the MK 2 Komander had more plywood / less balsa in the fuselage construction. TX.
