I finished my Sig SE. All thats left to do is balance and tweak it a bit. I've had it since about july, working on and off for quite a while. I thought it went together really well, besides the occasional screw up on my part(mounting the firewall and first fuse former upside down, with epoxy). I didn't have any big problems with the original design, but i did put solid pushrods in and a different tailwheel assy. in. I had the framing done in less then 2 weeks, Mounting the engine was one of the harder things to do. The directions don't really cover it, or i missed that part, and the fuse was so cramped around the engine i had a hard time getting a finger and screwdriver in there. I ended up mounting the engine to the mounts outside of the plane, and screwing it in with a long screwdriver. Covering probably took me the longest. Originally it was going to be blue and white, like on the box, but my blue Ultracote wasn't working well, and i didn't have the money to go get some monocote, so i used the red roll my brother had given me. The engine is a 46 AX. i ran it up in my driveway and it is awesome. Its hard to set idle because the plane wants to roll no matter how low i go.
Here are some pics, I'm going to buy a aluminum spinner, the blue one was just so i could break in the engine.
Lemme know what you think. This is my first kit and covering job.
There are alot of smears on it from tweaking, some of them are a bit dark, it was in my basement.
Gotta find a good pilot
