A Sig Hog isn't bad as a warbird trainer - low wing with barn door ailerons.
Uh, Charlie, the Sig Hog has strip ailerons, unlike the original 
. The instructions include an copy of the original build article and plans which do show the barn door ailerons but it will take a bit of work to modify the Sig wing to match the original.
IMHO, the original flies a better than the Sig version but is not as easy to build due to the more complex wing construction, especially the landing gear (and unless you have the Berkeley kit, you have to scratch build it).

That's . . . that's. . . unAmerican! Damn kids! I didn't realize the Hog had been corrupted. Oh, the humanities.
First tricycle gear on Stiks and now this. No wonder I never see Hogs at the field anymore. ;-)
Well, they WERE good pre-warbird trainers. Maybe still if you power 'em at the low end. If you can keep an underpowered model in the air an overpowered one will be easy. And warbirds never seem to have enough power.
