RE: sig four star 60 question
Yeah, re-read the manual. Mine has the servos on the bottom. Either covering will do fine. Monokote will handle more heat, but Ultracoat is easier to apply. Just turn the heating iron down some for Ultracoat. Plus it is cheaper. My Four star is actually covered in Cub Yellow Monokote, with Monokote Checkers, but this was before I realized that Ultracoat is easier to apply. If you use Monokote, take your time and it will come out fine.
Th 4*60 is a great kit, especially if it is you first kit. Very simple to build. I modified my 4*60 some. I am using a pull-pull system on the rudder, counter balancer on the top of the rudder (like an Extra or Edge), dual elevator servos, 1" addition to the rudder and elevators. Better tail wheel, Front hatch under fuel tank(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOD), plus some other stuff I can't remember right off hand. Power is from a YS .91FZ, spinning a APC 15X6, but need to get a APC 15x8 or a APC 16x4. It has tons of power. Will hover and has vertical unlimited capabilities. Knife edge is great with very little adjusting. I honestly think it flys better with a more powerful engine. If you can get a YS .91FZ, you will be very happy. If not, get a Saito 100 or an OS 1.20. These are comparable to the power of my YS .91FZ. The front hatch will allow you to balance the plane easier if you need nose weight.
If you need any help feel free to contact me.
What engine are you setting up with.
Post some photos when you finish up.
