RE: Sig Smith Miniplane build
Thanks! read the article, it's very nice.
I certainly agree it was a joy to build, and although not a large model, it is very conveniently sized yet still gives a sense of accomplishment.
I agree it has a tendency to climb, and should have had in my opinion a bit of positive incidence in the tail (1.5-2 deg).
I don't agree about the individual aileron servos.
As designed - with one central servo and torque rods, it works great and has nothing showing on the outside, otherwise there's a horn, pushrod, servo arm, and slot in the wing.
No need to free up space in the fuselage, there's plenty.
It does fly exceptionally well, lands very easy, I always manage to three-point it on the runway center.
Thinking, maybe I should get myself another kit in case they stop doing it...
