RE: SIG Ryan STA special kit by Maxy Hester
I have started building and have considered maybe a smaller engine for this kit, I'm thinking of something like a Saito 1.00 or equivalent. The fuse sides have been shortened
to accommodate a larger motor and vibration dampening mount. I plan to utilize a new type of aluminum solder to fabricate a custom exhaust manifold, we'll see.
The stabilizer and elevator are completed and I replaced the stabilizer trailing edge with spruce to compensate for strength if
I do in fact use a larger motor, the guy wires will also be functional to help in holding things together. If I do go with overpowering this plane I may go with a theme for this
and adopt a modern hi-perf clone aircraft idea. where the theme is that this is an experimental modern with a retro style, like auto manufacturers are doing today
with cars... just a thought.
