Default RE: SIG SE first timer's build thread ;)

As for dead sticks, nothing can be as bad as the MDS engine I bought new for $50 bucks (it was sitting in a drawer and I didnt know better). On the maiden of my first plane, dead stick. I wasnt flying but it was scary for me and the pilot. After endless testing of nitro percentage and extra castor in the fuels, I gave in and now have a used Fox engine from a flying friend and it doesn't seem to be much better. I really dont think I can land that plane with the engine running. I am just going to break down and get a new OS 75AX to put on it.

I have wanted to build one of these SSEs but just havent found time. Is it an easy build? What size engine range can be used. Wing span?
