I've finally finished my Four Star build, so I'll post some final figures and pictures. I actually finished about 3 weeks ago, but my computer was in the shop for repair, so I couldn't post. I am pleased with the final finish, but I haven't gotten it into the air yet. Between the weather and getting the new engine tuned well, I'm slow to maiden. This is my first gas engine, and the biggest plane in my hanger. Too much time invested, so I need conditions as good as possible. a lot of my build has already been posted on this thread, but I'll give a basic list of my build.
Final wing span with one rib bay removed: 72"
Final weight, ready to fly: 11lb 10oz
Engine: Valley View 20cc
Covering: Sig Koverall, applied and sealed with Minwax Polycrylic
Final paint: Rustoleum Sail blue and Rustoleum Sunburst Yellow
I was always concerned throughout the build to keep the weight as forward as possible so I wouldn't need to add any nose weight. As I turned out when finished, my CG came out at 4 1/4" from leading edge without any weight added. This is right in Sig's recommended range.
