It is a great flying plane,
It is a builders kit but the results are well worth it. You can do a search here and find my build thread, I cover every aspect of the build.

I'm at the finishing stages of this one. It's a builder's model, I have enjoyed every minute of it.
First class materials, design, hardware, simply - a Sig kit, that sums it up.

My first Sig kit was the Smith Miniplane, built two years ago, fly it nearly every weekend, if the CW Cub flys as good it's going to be simply fantastic.

Do note however that the thicker parts are printed, you need to cut them up yourself, only the thinner sheets are die cut.
Die cutting is perfect, clean and precise. The printed parts are also amazingly accurate and match the plans 100%.

Mine is now covered and some of it painted in primer. Covering is nylon and sanding sealer (Dave Brown Skyloft). My Smith Miniplane was also covered this way and it is very durable and light (painted in brushed on polyurethane paint).

If you like to build "proper models" by yourself, go for it!

mjg3,
Koverall is a great product, I am building a Pepino 1/4 scale Waco YMF-5 and I will be covering it with Koverall also. Check out the thread in the Scratch builld forum and you will get some more info. Ken (Big_Bird) is covering his Waco now and is using Polycrylic to attach the fabric instead of dope. I am going to try this method.
Later!!

One of the best, (just my 2 cents) covering is no longer available. I just used the last of my supply on the L-4 I’m building. I’m talking about Super Coverite.

Cub Man:

I agree with you on Super Coverite that's what I cover mine in.
