I've forgotten how to upload photos, but I still have a Sr. Falcon photo in my Gallery, so just click at the bottom and you'll see it.

I restored a decrepit old Sr. Falcon left for junk at the club. There was so little room in the nose I put my little OS 40FP in it. To my surprise, it would do outside loops with it. The weight ready to fly was under 5 1/2 lbs. Very sweet, easy flying plane, but it got caught by a side gust coming in for a landing and that turned out to be the end. Very minor crash, but the whole front end blew apart. It was oil soaked and I hadn't been able to see how bad it was. Sad loss.

Besides the leading edge, the other scratch building problem is the canopy. Goldberg changed it on the new ARF (what were they thinking--don't they know the commercial value of nostalgia?), and none of the Sig canopies looks right. It's a very distinctive feature, and without it the whole plane looks wrong. The one on my old plane was pretty disfigured so I didn't keep it.
