Default RE: Sig Hog-Bipe kit.

Yours is looking good too, I have hit the wall, and have not made much progress on it recently. I am to the smoothing and sanding phase. It is not hard work, but I just don't like doing it. I have been finding all kinds of other honney-dos to keep me away from the plane.

One thing I did that is not shown in the plans was to add some balsa to "fair" in the cabines at the fuse. I did not like the huge holes that are there. I also plane to make it permanent so i can use it as a good carrying handle when it needs to be moved and that way I won't have the screw heads on the outside of the fuse.

One thing I wish I had done was drill hole in the formers for the antena to run in a pushrod tube. I had not thought of that, and now I would like to do it, but it will just have to be glued to the formers as best I can. I might try to get in there with a pin vice, but I doubt I will be able to.

I also put my last former in backwards, the plans are really confusing on this, but I don't think it will be a big issue, as the elevator can be controled from either side and I plan to run pul-pull cables for the rudder.
