Default RE: Sig Sundancer 50 Build

Well guys I found this at the LHS. I thought it was the yellow version but when I got it home I found out I had the purple one.

I've liked Sig airplanes and had good experiences with the Rascal. The Rascal was covered in Ultracote. This Sundancer is covered in AeroKote. I'm not impressed with AeroKote seems like Chinese covering to me. Low temp and doesn't stick or shrink as well as Monokote or Ultracote.

I did not like the same covering pattern on the bottom of the wing as the top. Nor did I like seeing the white plastic servo covers against the purple and blue colors. So I added 3" wide stripes out of Ultracote. I liked the 1/8" pin stripping on the fuse and added 1/16th " on the wings. What do you think?

The plastic servo covers will fit in the middle of the stripe. I'm also going to epoxy the bottom of the plastic servo covers with 1/64" ply. I had a problem with them deteriorating on the Rascal.

I don't have a .70 4 stroke and I hate the idea of a large 2 stroke muffler hanging out the side. I looked at the weight of the Magnum 91 verses the 70 and they are really close so it will be getting the 91 and a 13 ounce fuel tank.
