Wonderful Wonder
I have always liked the looks of the Sig Wonder and after seeing an expert pilot throw an e-powered version all over the sky I hoped to build one some day. This year I built the kit for an OS.15LA engine and my heart rate hit the red line in the first two flights. It was just too sensitive in pitch for me. So I decided to make a drastic change. I cut off the stock tail with twin fixed rudders and added about 5 inches to the fuselage. I then made conventional tail surfaces and added a servo for a moveable rudder. This has turned out to be the most fun model I have ever flown. Great big loops and 3-roll 80 degree Victory zooms. My fellow club members, most of whom think no plane with less than a .60 engine is worth building, were lined up to watch me fly it even though I am not an expert. There is a small photo of the model in Randy Randolph's column in the January, 2003 issue of Flying Models.
