Default RE: Ryan STA Kit by SIG - I need advice!

Hi, yes the Fuz is glassed -but so long ago I cant recall the weight, but i have a lot of scale detail & flying wires etc which all add to the weight - promise to weigh it all up!

plastic parts just painted. The rudder & where it joins the bottom Fuz has another plastic part - which does limit the rudder travel (-but this is scale anyway!) - the original rudder link used a straight ' bellcrank' - but this needs attention as it can become sloppy - plus the tailwheel steering can put additional stress on it...

All flying surfaces are filmed...

and the original OS 90 fourstoke is fine - but I will replace it for next season with the Saito 100 (weighs less & bonus of a lot more power over the original OS90 )

My spats & pants were just painted too - need to give the whole undercarriage an overhaul.... these did use a complicated fabricated piano wire set up!!! - after a few years - not quite as it used to be. need something with some 'spring' in it!

Will get round to all this soon I hope!!

regards & seasons greetings to all!
