I have a SIG box coming,the big one like you have.
I like the 1/4 ply uprights to support the plane.
Everyone TH sells uses the 1/8th balsa and it's not very strong so I never bothered to install it.
I have a couple of questions.
What pump is that and who sells it?
Doesn't look like anything I saw in TH catalog.
The removable carry bar is your own mod?.
Very nice setup.
I guess you have access to a band saw?.
$22.00 differance between the TH box and the SIG and you have all good quality materials.
The pictures show the quality of the SIG box.
Thanks for posting them
Hi whirleybird,
The pump is a slimline boxxer. about the best and most reliable electric pump out there. Tower has it. The carry bar is not removable but the cradle is. I used a good old razor saw and B&D rtx (dremel equivalent, only more power
). the curves are done by marking out with pencil (I copied the outline of my ernst ultra stand), then drilling holes along the marking and "joining" up the holes with a Higley reamer bit, and final sanding with a sanding drum. let me know if you need anything else..................mike
