Default RE: Sig Mid Star 40 Build Thread

You are really going to enjoy the Sig Mid-Star, I've had mine for
3 years now, wouldn't trade it for anything, just a great sport &
relaxing flying little plane. When you get to the tail feathers, reinforce
the stabalizer with a bit of angle stock for rigidity, as on a nose over
it will snap off if not braced a little. Mine's has a Super Tiger 40 in it,
plenty of power and cruises around great between 1/2 and 3/4 thottle,
rolls are barrel type but quick on full power though, groves quite good
actually. You'll be glad you did the 2-servo wing, mine worked out great.

What type of fuel are you using over in the Uk, I know when I lived there
back in the 70's FAI was about all I could afford. Your ST-45 will haul the mail
on anything of 5% to 10% nitro. Keep the great work going, I have a back-up
kit in the cupboard for just in case, and will probably build #3 in near future.
