anyone hear of a sig lil something extra?
 
I saw a neat little plane at the field today, but I did not get a chance to really find out more information, I think he said it was a sig little something extra, he had an os 10 in it. I did a search but was not sure how it was spelled. Any clues, is it an old kit, or are there planes for the plane?

Thanks

Jon

Had one with a Norvel .074. It was a blast.

Thanks, that is the one, looking at it, I am not sure I would put an older os 20 in it thou:(

I think a .10 would be great. I think this is a popular plane over in the 1/2A forum.

Herr recently stopped making it, so whatever is left in someone's stock is it. It used to sell for $60 which I think is (was) a pretty sweet deal.

I have one with an OS.10FSR running 15%. Nice little plane, no speed demon with this power plant. Issues are covering related mostly, my covering was poor. Like someone had oiled the plane before application. Herr/Sig has discontinued this plane.[&o]

I have two in the box waiting to be built. I have a Magnum .15 XLS that I am planning to put on the first one, I think it will have plenty of power.

Will Norvel 061 work?
What prop would be good for 074 and 061?

Thanks

I built one and sold it to a bud of mine since I'm not ready for that much plane yet. I put an OS .15 in it with a 8x4 apc prop on her. He is running 30% nitro and thats one bad plane!

It should fly on the .061. It might not be quite as good as the .074 but still OK I think.

I think I used a 7x3 or 7x4 prop but it has been a few years so I don't remember for sure.

I think the guys over in the 1/2A forum could provide some good information: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_70/tt.htm

Rich Uravitch has plans for a mini Extra in MAN plans, perfect little plane for the Minimac. He also sells the cowl and canopy plus any parts needed.

I've got a quantity of sig/Herr little extras N.I.B. They will be listed in the for sale section on RCU. They look like high quality arf's and great flyers. John R.

Have you seen the House of Balsa Profile Extra? 36" wingspan for .06 to .10 engines. See http://www.houseofbalsa.com/store/st...SObE4rPY6g7G6/

I'd go with the .074, and either a 7x3 or 6x4 prop will give you lots of pull. The .061 might get it off the ground, but assuming a 20 oz AUW it's not going to fly the way you want an Extra to fly.

how much thrust I can get from 074 and 061 R/C engines?

The Herr/Sig Somethin' Extra looks like it might be a fun plane to convert to Electric flight. If it is anything like it's big brother it has to be a great flyer!

The .074 puts out as much power as a 10, but the .15 flies it better than the .074, plus it's a cheaper motor to buy, the last time I checked the .074's are going for around 100 bucks, plus, the plugs are expensive, the cheap magnum .15 is like 60 bucks, and has 1.5x's the power.

My buddy is using 30% nitro in an OS .15 la and it has unlimited vert. 8x4 prop. One thing I would suggest when running bigger motors is to use heavier duty control horns. The one on the elevator failed.

good. but I have no idea of thrust figures for 10 or 15 too? How much in oz? For 061 and 074 with given prop.
I'm asking because I have several 074s and 061s new sitting here.
