Sig Kougar?
Is the Sig Kougar a good second plane? I like the fact that it has a foam wing and it isnt built built with sticks. How easy is it to build? If i were to build one i was gonna put a RCV .58 four stroke in it, too much power? I heard it flys good with a .46fx. Let me know so I can do more research.

Good plane but not the best choice for a second plane. If you haven't sheeted foam wings it would be a good experience. Not bad to build with some experience but not a good kit as a first build. Take a look at the Sig Mid-Star 40 then the Kougar as the third plane. Tapered low wings planes are more dificult to fly for the inexperienced.

RE: Sig Kougar?
Not a good 2nd plane to build and to fly. The parts dont snap in place like most beginner aircraft. Its old style contruction that relies on the modelers building experience. Sheeting a wing could be very easily done but also easily screwed up if one dont pay attention. Some beginners have built sheeted foam wings with huge air bubbles between the foam and the balsa. Also the kougar is not designed for a 4 stroke engine, on the contrary its a speed demon and it benefits from high rpm 2 stroke engines. As I just mentioned, its a fast sensitive airplane with a high wing loading which limits the slow flying characteristics that beginners need specially at landing time.
