AD Reliable,
LOL,
Are you from Logan, Utah or Logan, California. I see that both exist.
I have one of these kits waiting on its turn for me to build. I also have acquired a Sig !/4 scale with full wing that is mostly built with cloth covering on it. still needing paint.
Hope you will be able to continue your thread. I will be along for the ride seeing how things go.
Even though this plane is a good size, it does not require gobs of power. 20cc gas would get it done easily. As you know, Sig claims a .90 (15cc) two stroke glow is all you need.
If you are comfortable with covering with Monokote, then you could easily adapt to the "NEUCOVER" sold by Value Hobby at

It requires a little less temperature but works nice.
My experience has proven Nuecover to have a longer life span compared to Ultracote.
Oh, forgot to mention Neucover comes in +/- 16 foot long rolls.
