HI everybody, My name Michael and I am old RC model airplane builder.I haven't really built anything since 2005.So, I have this brand new Sig Kavalier kit and I going to share some pictures of my build and see if anybody is interested in this airplane. Sig calls its kits,'Craftsman kits' and that is a true statement as I build what I fly as I don't like to buy some one else junk and fly it! No offense there as I not into ARFS even though my first RC airplane was a pilot ARF from Hobby shack in 1977 with a Cox Black Widow .049 for power and a HobbyShack Aerosport two channel control. It is not the right way to learn how fly as far as I am concerned. So now 40 years later I,m now building and flying again. Wow what a joy it is to fly after all these years and in the same note it is so sad to see how this hobby is dieing.
My goal is to build it light and use Top Flite Monocote and try to match the color scheme on the box. I have no desire to learn how to cover this airplane with cloth, skllk and use dope and paint. People who can do this are very rare breed these days.I have always heard that this cover system makes a very heavy airplane. My first problem when I finish this kit is to match the monkote colors to the paints out there. I am going to power this airplane with a brand new O.S. MAX 35 AX 2 cycle glow engine. Thats another thing I am not crazy about areelectric powered airplanes at all so you could call me old school which is fine with me! anyways Who wants tofly or drive a turbo powered screw driver!
My pictures that I added this thread show the right wing panel on my building board which was in two pieces last week. I look forward to hearing from you .Thank You You Michael Johnston
