Default RE: Sig Wonder Build

Mustang,
I had one as a Russian Wonder too - and then I got this soft toy mouse (see pic), it's got this absolutely scared look on it's face, so I thought it would look great if I super glue it "spread eagled" on the Wonder where the fuse and leading edge meet - see this big eyed scared looking mouse clinging for dear life when you make a low fast fly past... well, that was the theory..... in practice I launched the plane, it went up, up, up, up , up, then rolled it sideways to come back but then coming back it went down, down, down and made a big smoking hole not far from the runway.....no more Russian Wonder ..... no elevator control because the turbulence caused by the mouse rendered the elevator useless.

The elevator is very effective under normal conditions but be careful of canopies or pilots on the wing/fuse. That is why they have that "profile" canopies. The elevator don't like turbulence.
