Default 4 Star 40 kit

Ok, Neo, thats the web site I was talking about. Your 4 Star is awesome. I'll do the the turtle neck sheeting for sure. did you just glue the sheeting to the top of the stringers?


But the engine cowl I'm not to sure how to do it. Sure does set the 4 Star off though. Totally different looking plane. Also I really like the way your did the mods to the canopy. I want to do that. Could you give me a little advice on how you did it, in newby terms? I really dont want to cut too much off. I dont want to go through the hassle of trying to get a new one from Sig. Also I'm going to go with the rounded wing tips. If I remember on your web site that you just carved them out of a chunk of balsa. One more question, I've read on here about clipping one rib bay off on each side of the wing. For better roll rates. Have any of you other guys done this? I thought I might as well do this as I build it instead of later. Thanks for all your replys, JT
