SIG Samauri
 
Does anyone have experience with a discontinued kit by SIG, the "Samauri"? Things I should be aware of in building/flying?
I liked the look, the size, and the wingeron/pitcheron thing.
What are the flight characteristics of a pitcheron vs. wingeron?

finished
 
I finished it about a month ago and have been flying it every weekend ever since. I did it as a wingeron. It is a great plane! I love the rolls! Unbelievable! Landings are tough though, hard to slow down. I have to make 3-4 passes to feel comfortable enough to set it down. But, no damage yet!
Thanks !

spoilers in a wingeron
 
Someone at the hill suggested instlling spoilers in the top of the wing with small servos to create drag to slow the wingeron down. What do you think?

panels?
 
Hmmmm... but how to do the panels? the fuse has no room inside, and the outside is rounded. Wouldn't it be easier to do it on the wing?
