Nope... but I don't use the stock landing gear. If you look in my gallery you'll see my last SSE with a Dubro main gear... I'm using that same gear on this SSE. I checked for clearence and it seems that a 14" prop should be no problem (might get a little green custom dye on the prop from time to time depending on how freshly mowed our flying field is [8D])

LOL,

Mine is pretty green before the field is mowed.

With exception to a few minor bits (prop and receiver on order, program radio etc...) it is done!
Here's some pics.

whoa... don't know what happened with that pic upload... that's a bit big!

Gives us a detailed and up close look at it.

Let's try this again.

Well that didn't work... [:@][:'(]

That's the first look at the finished side force generators I've seen. The whole thing looks GREAT!!!!

Mr Moderator...

Can you resize the above two posts? If not, can you just delete them?
I have no clue what happened... I didn't change a thing from when I posted previous pics. [&:]

NICE JOB !!!!

The photo uploads are messed up several other threads doing the same thing with HUGE pics LOL.

Good luck with the maiden.

Pete

Well let's try another pic. Wonder how big this one will be...

That's better! [8D]

And one from the front.

Doesn't that Saito look nice... [8D] I just got my APC 14x4W yesterday and I've got plenty of ground clearance... Just waiting for some green grass now!!!!!! Come on spring!!!!!!

Hey OTE,

Awesome looking SE. I wish I could cover a plane like that.

Have any of you guys on this thread ever considered blowing one up in size. I saw one a couple of weeks ago at my flying field, that someone built from scratch. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of it, but it was close to the same size as the largest Hangar 9 Twist and it can fly circles around any size Twist. I don't remember the wing span, but it was large enough to be powered by a Supertiger 2300 2-stroke.

Just my two cents worth.

Fly safe and have fun!!
David

I fixed the original photo for you.

Ken

Thanks Ken!

David... Thanks for the compliments... I will say that it looks better in the pics than it does up close.
I did see a thread on here (it's been a while) where a guy basically doubled the size of a SE and it did look pretty nuts. If I had more time and patience I'd definately give it a go but I don't have that scratch building drive that some other builders have . It'd be nice if Sig would just up-size the SE in a laser cut kit... maybe 90-120 size??? Note I did say KIT not arf (just incase someone from Sig reads this... lol).

This kinda looks like a .60 sized SSE: http://ak-models.com/mm5/merchant.mv...AKM_Laser_Kits

I've been thinking about buying it but I just have too much other stuff to get done first.

That looks very much like a 60 sized SSE! Nice price too! I book marked that bad boy... might have to get one someday. (I've got too much on my plate for the near future too [:'(] )

Very cool bashing on your SSE and I like the covering job well done ....Now with your skills on bashing the Contender and the SSE how about putting a "T" tail on some type of kit ? makes for great pit talk lol

cheers

LOL... You like those T tails don't you Blade.

I'm just finishing the last few touches on a SPAD that we (loganjoel and myself) are going to do a little combat with this flying season. We just have to decide if we're going to do traditional streamer combat... or........ FULL CONTACT (UFC) style no holds barred, no rules combat. LOL The last one flying wins (which ofcourse will be ME!) [>:] lol

If you're looking for a choice, I vote for a FULL contact!!! But get it on video

Sounds like OTE is getting pretty cocky. My plane dubbed "Spad to the Bone" will do just fine with its serated tooth landing gear. Hey OTE, just in case you forgot what it looked like, here is another picture. lol.

by the way, streamers are for limbo competitions.

Don't worry everyone - I'll be there with my camera for the maiden combat mission!! This should be interesting. I can't wait to watch these 2 turkeys duke it out!!
