Default Sig Somthin Extra - Finished and Flown !!

I finished the SE a couple of weeks ago and I have flown it about 10 times...

Specs:
Engine - Ervine .53
Prop - 11.5 x 4
Weight - 5 pounds 4 Ounces

Mods:
Pull Pull Rudder
Pull Pull Elevator
Replace flying rods with wire
Sullivan tail wheel

Setup:
Low rate per manual
High rate per manual
Flaperons with elevator mixed in
CG - per manual

Results:
AWESOME I love this plane.....

First flight was no problem for me with the low rates per the manual,
after a little trimming I flipped on high rates and this thing came to life!

I was able to go vertical as fast and as far as I wanted with authority!
Roll rate is really fast and it would do everything I know how to do
so far. I could flip tumble and throw this thing across the sky and always
feel in control.

I will post pics as soon as I get a chance.
