Thats about what the Sig cub weighed back in 94 when I first built up the kit... it was built as per the book, and I installed the saito FA130TD twin in it... that was a strong running setup, but the OS boxer looks more the part, like in that Baby Ace... Those OS rocker covers sticking out the cowl, just suits the model. An ASP boxer would look just as nice.

Cat, Paolo's models are probably the best of best, cream of the crop... and to give the plans away for free, shows his luv for the hobby... On Paolo's website, he has a video of the first built and flown 37.5% Tiger Moth, what a plane that is.!
