Default RE: Sig Four-Star 60

This is my "beater" plane, I had a bad crash and broke it in half. Servo tray was out, the stock pushrods were all twisted. I almost threw it away and started no3. (I've since stolen the servo's for something else, but I have some pictures)

pic one is the tail with the extension. You can see the pull pull wires, they are loose - no servo's. Next is the exit area. I just used a couple of old nyrods and ran the cables inside. The third pic is the servo area. Rudder servo is center, the elevator servo is raised and over to one side.

I also got rid of the turtledeck (is was a total loss). With these mods it knife edges well, but still turns towards the belly on any application of rudder. I had hoped that the triangular shaped rudder would eliminate that tendancy. Next plane of this style I would build would be the venture 60, lighter and with some of the 4* bugs addressed.

The four star is an excellent flyer though. Didn't mean to hijack your post DarkLotus, good luck with your build and enjoy!
