Default RE: Started my first kit build


ORIGINAL: Aiden88

Be sure not to build two of the same side wing panels. Easily done by mistake.

I just finished my first kit, a Sig 1/5 scale Cub. I enjoyed the build but wish I'd have gone with a trainer style kit or something a tad easier. I got it all done but took me a while because I got burned out about 3/4 of the way through it. My next build I think I'm going with a Sig 4*40. I have an OS .52 four stroke lying around that should work nicely in that airplane.

Good luck.
Looks like you did a great job on that Cub! I knew the kit I am building maybe not the best choice for a first build and I perhaps should have gone with something more like a trainer. But I didn’t have much use for another trainer so once I built it I wouldn’t want to fly it as much. I like the sportier aspect of the kit I am working on and am looking forward to flying it at some point.

I had some great movement on the second wing panel (not the same side as the one I already built)! Quick trip to the craft store on my lunch break today for some more balsa sheeting and I can keep going tonight. Hope to have this wing panel completed at least by the end of this weekend.
