New Beater Plane
Came across a Sig Kougar. Basically, the plane was old and had most of the covering off. Broken rudder, no cowl, no turtledeck and no cockpit. This thing had old airtronics servos. I stripped off as much monkote as I could. Re-covered the wing (not the greatest in the iron on covering dept.), made new rudder, attached all the control surfaces etc. Tried to re-cover the fuse but wood is old. Shoulda just used balsarite on it. Anyways, I now have it completed and have re-soldered the servos to work with my receivers.
Kinda looks like crap but its gonna be my "beater" plane. So if it crashes, don't really care all that much. BTW, my 14 month old Rottweiler "Brutus" wanted to be in the pic...
