RE: Sig Hog Bipe Build
Thanks propwash - I have always wanted to do something like this, but never got around to it. Thought this would be a good start and a good plane to do it on. I have added the trailing edge sheeting, the top spar, and the web shears. Also put in the top wing bracing as indicated in the instructions. You can see in the last pic that I have added the leading edge wing sheeting and it is being formed into the correct shape. I haven't glued it in place yet, and that may have been a mistake. Once the sheeting dries out (I sprayed ammonia on the sheeting to keep it from cracking) it might be a little more difficult to get the glue/epoxy in on the ribs. However, I really wanted to take my time and make sure the LE was formed and still be able to move it around to ensure a good fit. Will pick back up tomorrow morning with a planned total weekend build session... Yeah, I will sleep and eat, but am on a roll and want to get as much done as I can.
Here are pics of additional adds to the top wing build.
