Sig 1/6 cub mods
This seemed to be the best place to post this.
Several years ago I built the Si 1/6 scale cub more or less stock. It had an old Magnum .40 and a pitts muffler. I recall it weighing around 5.5 lbs. I built it to be a trainer and I was finally going to learn to fly R/C with it. This plane is not a trainer. I got through, but the plane got a little rough. The plane eventually got a Magnum 30 fs and flew well, the engine was a good match for scale power. One day the wing came off during a roll around 400' up. I have pics somewhere. The fuse was destroyed from the aft cabin bulkhead foward. The wing was undamaged. I let it sit in a closet for a while and the rebuilt it a little over a year ago. It now had a Saito 40a, a jewel of an engine with plenty of power. I had always wished that it had a clipped wing, but I also wanted it to have flaps like a super cub. Sooooooooooo.........
I decided to build it a clipped wing, modify the long wing to have flaps, and modify the fuse and make a new cowling to turn it into a super cub. Here is the plane before any mods.
