RE: Sig 1/6 cub mods
The regress that I had posted refers to 2 crashes. I was doing some fairly hard aerobatics with the clipped wing and got it into a really FLAT spin. It was kinda low but it looked really cool so I held it for a little too long. I recovered just in time to hit the ground. Oddly enough, this happened right after I took the pics on the above post. The cowl was torn up a good bit and the right wing inboard half was pretty well destroyed. The fuse was unharmed, just a broken rear wing mounting and one of the hardpoints for the cowl screws was torn out. The pics are of this crash. I fixed the fuse and was flying it a few days later with the long wing when I lost elevator control during an outside snap. I flew upside down for a bit and then it went into the trees. Oddly enough, it went through the canopy of the trees and ended up upside down on the ground, with only a crushed aileron. That long wing is VERY tough, in fact, that whole airplane has been through a lot and is still ok.
The other pic is the one that I was looking for of the first major crash when the wing came off during a roll and the fuse lawn darted into the ground.
