RE: Sig Citabria Kit
[quote]ORIGINAL: sqeakalong
Hi, John! Speaking of Sig kits...did Mike contact you about making up a set of the Sig Liberty Sport plans from his plans? And, offhand, do you know if the Liberty Sport can be built from those plans (all parts shown)?
Good luck on your electric Citabria!! I built a glow version many years ago and it was an enjoyable build...takes some time but still fun. Can I twist your arm for one of those instrument panels when you make them?
Say hello to the guys up your way for Joyce and me. Joe
Joe, Mike hasn't mentioned this to me yet, but I will be going over to his house Monday so maybe he will broach the subject. I don't see why you couldn't build from the plans, however you can order the manual from Sig. They usually cost only a few bucks. My plan for the Citabria instrument panel is to photoshop the photo and adjust it to fit the cockpit. I can make two copies. I just need to get a color cartridge for the printer and get started. It won't be anything fancy with bezels and the like but it's better than a piece of balsa.
BTW the large sheet copier I use does have a quirk in that it tends to stretch the horizontal lines a touch. It may not make a difference if you measure for the formers, ribs etc. From what I've been told, all roll sheet copiers do this to some extent. I guess it's the tradeoff instead of going to a blueprint repro shop and have it photo copied.
catch up with you later. John
