Default RE: Sig Kougar Build

HeliTB, this is not really a good first kit. Going through the manual I guess you have seen alot of carving and shaping. The leading edges of the wing have to be right. That could mean the difference between a nice flyer, or flying like a dog. You might want to consider getting the Kavalier kit and build it first. It still requires some shaping but not near the amount as the Kougar. It will also give you good experience in the build department. It is a shoulder wing so it would be a good transition plane between the Trainer and the Kougar.

Sig Bond is basically white glue similar to Tite Bond or Elmers wood glue. I would recomend wood glues for exterior use, Tite Bond 2 or Elmers Pro Wood Glue.

Sig Core Bond is a sort of Contact cement. You might want to do a search for Foam core wings to get a good procedure to skin them. Make sure you have plenty of weight to cure the cores.

Sig epoxy glue, Get 5 minute and 30 minute epoxies. If something will take longer than a minute or two to set up, use the 30 minute epoxy. Also use the 30 minute epoxy to paint the firewall for fuelproofing.
