The original full scale SMP had zero degree just like the kit plane. Many people have built the SMP exactly as the plans state and have had no problems whatsoever. However, others, myself included,...

I believe you can get that tank up a little higher by removing some of the former above it. I would try to raise it as high I could reasonably get it.

If I were to build another one I would put in 2 degrees positive on the horizontal stabilizer. I've been working on a Liberty Sport and it's the same so I've built in 2 degrees positive on it as well.

No problem sniper. I would advise that you stay a little on the nose heavy side for your first couple of flights. When I first flew my SMP it was a wild ride, it was a little tail heavy and I wound...

I just happen to have been organizing my plans and have the SMP plans handy. The c/g on my plans is 4 7/16 inch back from the leading edge of the top wing, or just in front of the top rear mounting...

Here's what I did, ace mini servo mounted on it's side. Works perfectly and no slop from additional linkage.

I think I figured out that the SIG SMP is 1/4.5 scale, so as taildragger1598 has pointed out, it is nearly 1/4 scale already. I too would like to have a 1/3 scale SMP since even at 1/4.5 it's still...

No, it's the Great Planes Super Skybolt ARF. I ran across it while doing research on the SIG Liberty Sport this past summer. It's dimensions are nearly the same as the Liberty Sport, 57" WS, and I...

I agree, that's why I stopped flying the Smith, too small to see at a comfortable distance. I've got my Skybolt that I fly quite often and a 1/5 Albatross D.Va w/ 70" wingspan in the works.

Good to hear about your engine. All of my experiences with HH warranty service have been good ones. We could work out some sort of trade for my SMP for the FG 11 if you were interested. Lawrenceville...

Some parts of the build can be frustrating and it's best to take your time. I spent almost a year on mine.

I agree with 2.4ghs, you will love this plane. I think SIG calls this kit a "craftsman kit" or what the older builders call a "builders kit" meaning it's not a laser cut kit that just falls together,...

Looks awesome! You did a great job on the finish.

Try about 2 or 3 degrees of down thrust on the engine.

That's wonderful. I've always said their never to young to learn to build and fly R/C airplanes.

The only thing I've found that I'm certain of is the 2 part auto clear coat sprayed with a Preval sprayer you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot. That's what I used over the coverite fabric on my SMP...

I've never had any luck with emails so I just call and talk to a person. So far, they have been a stand-up company to deal with.

Sorry to hear about the FG11, warranty? Don't you think the 91 will be overkill? Mine flys great with a Saito .56.
