Default Sig Sun Dancer 50

Hi,
Having now a finished Sig Sun Dancer 50 ready to maiden, I take the time to applaud the outstanding job that Sig has done with this kit! From the neat tail wheel assembly, to the selected hardware, the manual, the fabrication,the covering, the design-oh just everyhing!
With my OS FS-70, the model balanced perfectly on the recommended cg. The instruction manual is very good, and filled with words and pictures. The assembly does require the builder to follow instructions, especially wrt the settings of the upper wing
incidence. A large motivation behind selection of this Sig ARF offering was that it can remain assembled and yet fit into my Highlander SUV-it does!!
Will fill in with flight info as soon as wind and northers permit.

My friend built one last fall, I have the 72incher. The 50 is a ball! Great flier with a Tower .78, does anything and very easy to fly.

I have one with the OS70. Plenty of power & flys great. Its a lot of fun to land, very solid plane with no bad habits.

very fun to land, i.e. easy? scale looking? slow?

It lands like a bipe, pull the power back and it comes down, bipes don't glide well.

If you can fly a low wing plane you can fly this.

Scale looking? Sure it looks like a 1/3 scale SunDancer72 or maybe a EAA Bipe.

Yes it slows down well, nothing to bite you with this plane, no vices.

My 72incher has a lot of roll coupling with rudder input, you can actually do a outside barrel roll by just giving full rudder, I don't know if the 50 has it also.

May as well have a picture! YS 63, Futaba for guidance! More aerobatic than my Koysho Stearman of similar size.
