I bought this Sig Four Star 40 from Craig's List. It was all White with two Florescent Orange stripes on the wing.
I had a plan for this plain looking plane; make it look cool like a Super Sportster!
I cut a rib bay off of the wing on each side and added 1/2 tear drop wing tips.
I enlarged the tail feathers and changed their shape to a rounded off style.
i have never liked the Canopy and how far back the cockpit is so I moved the turtledeck forward about two inches and recut that stupid looking Canopy to a much better looking shape.
I would like to have removed the cheeks and enclosed the nose around the engine but that would have added a lot of weight so I left it alone. I reinforced the landing gear area and the area behind where the wing bolts on.
I also would like to have added Wheel covers but that may
come later.
I borrowed a trim scheme that I saw here for a Super Sportster.
For power I installed an HB .50 that was in the shop.
Im very happy with the results!
It looks SOO much better now!
