First Plane
1 Attachment(s)
Greetings All
This is my first Plane , It is a Sig Kadet Senior . That I built from a kit . Was alot of fun to build , and a learning curve about making something fly. I am expereinced in building , and racing R/C Boats for 12 yrs. this was my first plane . It has 5 flights on it it right now . It flys like a dream . Nice and slow , Gentle , easy to fly . I am running a OS 70 ultimate . and I installed Ailerons in the wings . It was a real relief on its first flight that everything went great . Just a minor fuel leak that was solved by a new zip-tie. |

RE: First Plane
It really is rewarding when you start with a box of sticks and it actually flies when you are done.
My first plane was a Kadet Senior I built from a kit, I too added ailerons. One great flying airplane for sure. |
RE: First Plane
Congratulations, you're going to enjoy flying that Sig Senior for many years to come!

RE: First Plane

Excellent man! How long did it take you to build that fine looking bird? |
RE: First Plane

I especially like the cheeks. That's a custom mod isn't it?

RE: First Plane
When It Rains , It Pours . I was getting the Senior ready for a Fun Fly this Weekend . Had it on the kitchen table , when the wifes cat crawled under the tail section . Something spooked her . She lifted her butt , and with her tail . She pulled it down on the floor . Breaking the exhaust mounting flange on the cylinder head of the OS70 ultimate. [:@] So looks like all I will be flying this weekend is my Raptor 30 .
Any one want a cat . :D USA_1_INK |

RE: First Plane
almost like when my mums cat decided to stick his claws through the covering on my trainer [:@]
and i must say, WOW on that covering job! the covering on my trainer has more wrinkles than a 90-year old pensioner, but the covering im doing on my Mam'selle build is a lot better ;) with a bit of luck, your repairs should be easy enough to do |
