RE: Ryan STA Kit by SIG - I need advice!

Here are a few pics. I've tried to show how I added extra balsa in which to attach the Robart Hinges. Also there's a pic of my new fiberglass parts I just recieved.

Ryan STA Kit by SIG - I need advice!

Thanks for the help. I think I'll give the Epoxy & Micro-ballons a try. I think they are actually called micro-spheres which is a 3M product. I've got some coming in as a sample for work so I'll see...

Fill-in material between wing platform and wing saddle

I am thinking about trying a few different things to blend the fuse and the wing and fill any gaps in the wing saddle. I have read about using epoxy and micro-beads but I am not sure I want to do...

johndoe,

Yes there is a booklet with the kit. You may want to contact SIG to see if they can send you one. Let me know if you have any success as I can probably scan mine and e-mail it to you.

nchrome,

Well I've already got the center torn back up to fix the gear so I might as well go back and redo the hinges. It seems I'm getting a very good lesson in building and rebuilding. I know...

Nchrome,

Sorry I didn't include this question above.......did you use the flaps for the plane? If so are you using a flap to elevator offset on your radio when the flaps are deployed? If so how...
