Sig vs Great Planes
After reading a couple of posts about suspect wood quality in GP kits, I was a bit worriedwhile waiting for my US40+ kit to arrive. When it did, I went through the box examining each piece closley with the intention of asking GP to replace anything that was not perfect. I also asked an experienced modeler to have a look as this is my first build. All wood is excellent in quality no replacements required. Can't say the same for my canopy though - It was cracked, replacement already on the way!
As a newbie builder, I find the instuctions clear and the photos helpful. Reading the manual through a couple times before starting was a good tip that I picked up here.
Even thought the wing on this plane is fairly complex, it looks like it would take a significant effort to build it anything but straight.
So far I've only built the tailfeathers, but I'm having fun! Got to vut hinge slots today though...a bit nervous abot that!
