Default Sig Senior mods, upgrades

Dwight,

One of the next projects for me is to build a camera pod that will fit in my bomb bay. Yes, being able to close the doors to protect the camera is the way to go. I will be happy to work with you on the mods for your senior. I did take construction photo's with a 35 MM camera, (no digital camera at the time). I can scan them for you. I can also draw diagrams of the ribs and other cross sections that will be required if you want to copy my idea's. It was a design as you go project for me and I hope I can remember how I did it. A tail dragger configuration is a must if you want to put a bomb bay in the plane. Take a look at the fuselage plans and you can see right behind section C is the wide open space for the bomb compartment. Your main gear will be moved to just in front of section C. As you get ready to build, e-mail me and I can give you more detailed instructions on the wing and fuselage construction. I added quite a bit of weight with all my mods and 8 servo's. The .61 size 2 stroke or .91 size 4 stroke is a must.
Thanks for all the kind words about my plane, I look forward to helping you build what I call the "SUPER SENIOR"

Jeff
