well ive done the structure completly!
i didnt extend the wings the seem to be long anuf and with the flaps its seems to beable to produce anuf lift and i did add leading edge sheeting and tip sheeting for some sregnth with 1/16 balsa the flaps extend to about 60 degrese . the pushrods have all been all re done and dont seem to work to bad. i have almost as much movment in the control serficesas i did to start i beleave i lost about one eighth. well im just now ready to cover my plane i went to my local hobbie shop and they said the wouldnt be able to get the sig covering soo i will have to order it streight from sig. next pay check i think.i have some pics for you guys to look at just a hole bunch of the finished plane. such a beast of a plane i hope it flys like a real bush plane/towplane

hey alll ive been pretty boared waiting for my pay so i can get the sig covering soo i desided to build an arf i had laying around i beleave its made by tower hobbie i received it in the mail for free no clue where it came from but they didnt want it back and it cost me nothing. i had a three channel controller laying around soo i added a tow rop release out of some 2-56 pushrod and a micro servo looks ok and i cant wait to try it but itll be hard seeing as i am the tow pilot. i also went to the hardware store and got some twine and some fishing whires rated at 30 pounds soo in the case of a hard snag that could damage my plane it will break. ill put some pics on latter. bolth of my glider and my rope.
