RE: Sig 4*20EP Build
Well, my timeline wasnt quite what I had hoped for. Still havent started covering, as I havent been able to work as much as I would like. I figured that I should probably do yard work and this other thing called work has gotten in the way. And Im trying to close on some property.
But Ive been slowly pushing on and have the wing 99% done, as is the fuselage. Tail surfaces are ready for covering.
I have some questions as far as radio/ motor set up. My plans do not show where the ESC goes. Any suggestions for this? I know it should go somewhere that it will get some airflow to stay cool. But other than that, no idea.
I plan on putting the reciever as far back as possible, depending on the CG. Any suggestions on mounting that?
Also what are the opinions on cutting hinges? I mean, my plans show that they should be cut after shaping the surface and covering, while the plans for my Cub say that they should be cut before shaping and covering. Opinions? I cut mine before shaping and covering. Seemed to me that it would be easier that way. Only thing I can see being a problem is locating the slots after covering.
Thats about it for now.
