Just wanted to tell you guys that I am still working on this.
But the control system and surfaces are going to be a real PITA and that is no lie....
But to be total honest I needed to make sure that my understanding of aerodynamics and controlled flight were close to being right. I also wanted to experiment with some construction methods and materials before I went any further with this design. To that end I have a thread going in the kit build forum of a Sig Somethin Extra titled: Yet another Sig Something Extra Build, it fairly high on the most recent post within the top 2 pages, if you care to look.
My time was limited this past summer, I am the field chairman at my club and that really cut into my time. Not to mention that real life keeps getting in the way of my "airplane time". Not to mention that we all like to get out there and fly sometimes, so to all that have been following this, as well as the B-17 build listed on http:www.airfieldmodels.com links I have not given up just shifted focus on certain aspects of the science and experiments involved for a bit.
