RE: Sig Hog Bipe Build
jcb for my $.02 having built two hogs, please do not use the cheap 1/8 lite ply interwing anchor plates.
please fab your own from 1/4" (yes i said one quarter inch) hard ply and make them one half inch taller than stock to provide clearance for the "T" nuts to be pressed in and epoxied, 2 on each tab. you would also do well to fab your strut from 1/8 inch hard ply and cover each side w/ 3/32 hard balsa, then sand to round the edges front and rear. as for the 4 wing tabs, after installing to ribs, i used hand made 1/8 hard ply ribs here, you can lay a 3/8 x 1/8 strip along each side of each wing tab, so you have something to iron your covering to.
re the gear, please move it forward at least 1/2 inch and mount so straight edge is forward. mine works fine that way. these are just my opinion, but see below my planes have the year they were build on them.
