Default RE: Sig Four Star .40 Build Thread!!!!!!!!

I Sheeted the leading edge of my 4* by sanding down the ribs in front of the main spar using the root ribs as a template and then sheeting between the spars. I like the look of this and would do it again should I build another.

I also added an extra aileron servo and mounted them in each wing and have set the plane up with flaperons/spoilerons. I agree that the plane does not need flaps but spoilers may help to reduce the floatiness on landing - I have not had much of a chance to play around with this yet, but it was really easy to do and whether I use it or not the capability is there for only the weight penalty of 1 servo (which I would have added anyway as it makes setup easier!).

I like how my 4* flys and also that it is dfferent from all the other planes at the club. I still have club members come up to me asking me as to the type of plane and complimenting the looks and flight characteristics.

Also added rounded wingtips so modify it and make it unique it will still fly great.
