Sig Wonder fuselage length
 

Hi All, I bought a 90% completed Sig Wonder at a swap shop in June, I notice the fuse is about 3" longer than the plans! The builder did a very nice job, excellent covering etc. I'm going to use a TT 25 and plan to get an FMA mini Rx, will use a std. servo for the ailerons and elevator and a mini for throttle. The instruction book says nothing about an optional longer fuse! Any ideas? Thank you. New member, Bill O'Neill from Allentown, Pa.

The longer fuselage made it a smoother flying plane and it was plenty exciting with a .15 engine. Added a servo for rudder control. The lower weight of the .15 engine (vs. a .25) resulted in smooth glides to landing. Have fun with it.

I know a guy that put a OS .15 CVA in one. On word: R O C K E T !

Just curious, when the guy built the longer Wonder, did he use plans, or an addition to the plans to get the longer length? Plans and instr. say nothing about a longer fuse! Bill

I put some tracing paper over the plans and drew the longer length of the fuselage. This is an example of the noble activity known as kit bashing. Our motto: "We don't need no steenking plans!"

It flew great with an OS.15LA and as 3Dfanatic says, it was a rocket when I installed an OS CVA.15. Most exciting moment was when a local hawk dove on the plane and tried to catch it as I flew down the runway.
