I'm starting to build the old Sig 1/6th scale Cub kit(the die-crushed one that goes back to an old Berkeley kit, I believe). Anyhow, this is not my first kit by a long shot, but it is my first real attempt at a good scale outcome, and the first "old school" die-crunched and stick kit I've done in a while. I'm just curious if there are any real problem areas on this kit, if anyone has any tips that'll save me some head-scratching later, etc. It's progressing very slowly thus far, not because of any difficulty but because having a new daughter doesn't leave much time for models(I started the kit by laminating the wing tips the day we brought her home from the hospital). Any helpful hints or warnings of problem areas are welcome.

I have built a couple of these kits just for fun. I would suggest using two aileron servos and do away with the complicated pushrods. Split the elevators and use seperate pushrods. I clipped the wings on my last one and used an OS .40 4 stroke. If you use a 4s you will need to shorten the nose a bit to compensate for the lenght of the 4 stroke. Remember the wing struts are functional and will need to be used or you will fold the wings. Lots of build threads on this plane.

I actually plan on using an AXI 2826/10 motor and 3S lithium packs for power. Thanks for the reminder about the aileron setup - I meant to make a note of that so that I could cut holes in the ribs for the servo leads and am currently getting the ribs ready to thread over the spars - just in time.

Pretty much what Jeb said. Mine was a Clipped wing version that I covered in Sig Koverall and painted.
Flew real nice and came out light. Lots of sticks to put together but worth it in the end. I still have each version waiting on the "to be built" list. No real surprises but the hortiz stab was a bit tedious to get straight and even. Still came out ok though..

I'd be curious to see how you mount the motor and ESC.

Curious to see how it flies too...
