Default SIG Aerobipe build

Here's one you won't see every day, a SIG Aerobipe. Apparently produced in the 70's. In fact, in searching the internet I can hardly find anything at all about this kit. Apparently it is related to SIG's "The Baron's Buggy". It is a 34" wingspan 3-channel biplane for 1/2A power. I picked this kit up on Ebay and thought it'd be an interesting build and something no one else at the field will have. I'm going to build it pretty much stock except for some minor changes, such as the landing gear mounting (changed from the rubber band mounting to a bolt-on arrangement).

Even though it says a .10 size engine will work, I'm going to put in a Fox .15 RC engine just so I know it'll take off on the grass field we use.

Enjoy the build log and if ANYONEhas ever built one of these or seen one in person, I'd be interested in knowing about it!
