RE: Sig Somethin' Extra Build
Hey guys,
A quick update: just ordered some more parts such as landing gear hardware, more sandpaper, pushrods, etc. Going to finish the hatch once my order arrives (need the sandpaper) then it's on to covering! I'm also going to mount the engine shortly, it will be interesting since my carburetor is in the rear of the engine but I found a position where it has full throttle movement and the clevis doesn't hit the firewall at full throttle. I can't use a screw lock with the cable, even though it would give more clearance, because the throttle arm moves right to left 1/8" when moving from idle to full throttle and it puts too much stress on the throttle arm/cable from the movement. If the carburetor weren't so close to the firewall it wouldn't be a problem. The left to right movement has to do with the idle needle's position; farther away at full throttle and closer at idle/ slow speed.
By the way, do you guys have any techniques on how to make the engine centered and straight on the mounts? Or do you just eye it?
That's all for now, stay tuned!
