Default RE: Sig Somethin' Extra advice

I am having a blast flying the kit I finished 2 or 3 months ago. Slow, fast, sane or insane. Saito 56 with APC 12 x 6 does great for anything but very extended vertical. Used the 2 - 56 metal pushrods from my old ultra stik 40 for elevator & rudder. Ran them in the som-xtra outer plastic tubes with Dubro ez links on servos and Dubro safety lock kwik link at the surface. Added Dubro HD servo arms and control horns. Drilled landing gear holes so 8-32 nylon screws with matching blind nuts in the fuselage could be used. Just say no to wheelpants/wingpunchers. Tailwheel is the type that mounts in a slot in the rear of the fuselage with the steering arm going into the rudder. With a flat receiver pack you can move it from the firewall to the servos for balance changes. I did not need any added weight.
