RE: Yet another Sig Something Extra Build
Got a bit side tracked today watching the Pats v Chargers....
But I did get a few things done despite the distraction.
As I mentioned before, I put the wing tube and dowel into place and test fit the wings. The joint between the wing and fuselage looked good, so I glued the servo tray and wing tube into place. I then went on and installed the hatch mount plate, and the landing gear block. You might notice the cheeks were cut off the fuselage now where I am going to build a full cowl they are just in the way at this point. I also added a bit of wood to the bottom of the firewall, this was shaped to fill in the small void of where the fuselage bottom would meet the firewall. I need to beef up this area a bit where cowl cheeks have been removed and there is a larger engine that is going to be use in the plane. Add to that the fact that the engine is going to be inverted and because of that the plywood tank floor can not be use as I need to bring the tank down as far as is possible to match up with the engine setup. I also included a shot of the tri stock I added to the landing gear mounting plate. Since I am not using the stock gear, I am going to use the Du-Bro Cat#789 setup so I can use larger than an 11 inch prop with out having to weed whack with it.
