Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF


ORIGINAL: Mainer_Jim

I actually traded for a Sig Smith Miniplane last year. Very small, very cool Bipe, and the guy had a flair for design. I've yet to really go through it thoroughly and certify it for flying, especially the kind of flying I do. But overall it appears to be quite sound, and I'm looking forward to flying it. I've kept my eyes open for a Sig Liberty Sport, but so far haven't seen any on the occasions I've searched. I haven't actually seen one anywhere in about ten years now. There appear to be a few Sig Morrisey Bravos showing up in the ads these days, but I've sold all my giants and I'm not getting into anything that big again.
As far as too much power, I think in any recreational sport model plane you can easily have too much power if the engine pulls the model too fast and won't allow it to slow down so that it can touch down and roll out reasonably. But I'm still listening, folks, what do you think the GP Super SkyBolt should be powered with?

balsabandit, I'd like to see some photos of that Waco when you get a chance! Once you get it home, of course....

News on the WACO. It looks like a major kit cutter is interested in reproducing the PICA WACO YMF 3/5 in 1/5 th scale. I know this is not the forum for that, but I may be distributing them before long. I offered my kit to be used for the templates and so on. You said you had not seen a Liberty Sport in a while, here is mine ready for the Koverall, and Dope.
