RE: Sig Komander

I had one in the 80's that I put retracts on. It's a different looking bird with no wheels, SIG even put it in their ad in the Dec. 82 issue of Model Aviation. It was also noticebly faster!

RE: Giant Telemaster Build

A transformer should be available to step down to 110/120, but I don't know how pricey it would be. May not be worth it unless you do a lot of building and shaping. That didn't occur to me that you...

RE: 130 Flaps

I suppose the fiberglass does offer some structural stability to it, but I guess you could put the urethane directly to the wood if you wanted to. Personally, I would use the light weight cloth and...
