Default RE: Sig 1/6 cub mods

Thanks Tubig
I built the kit 4 or 5 years ago and was rather proud of myself. It looked good but needed a good bit of trim to fly right. There were also a few little problems here and there. Since I built the plane, I have spent 2 years as an aircraft mechanic apprentice. That has given me a new view on precision. I made the clipped wing straight and it only needed one click of trim for straight and level. When I pulled the covering off of the long wing i was a little shocked. The wing that I was once proud of looked pretty rough. It is a little crooked and warped. Many of the parts didn't fit so well so I either scabbed other pieces on or used a lot of glue. It was just ugly!
