I think it is the SIG way to glue them on after it is covered. The Rascal was that way. Since they are cut from flat sheets, and not formed, that is what i will be doing.

Yes, the Ultracote is lower temp and the adhesive remains tacky once activated, unlike the monojoke. It also stretches much easier and doesn't crinkle like the plastic on packaging. From now on,...

Almost finished the wing on mine last night. Monokote is a joke after using Ultracote and the Hobby King covering. It does not stretch well at all and wrinkles way too easy. Same issues as you had...

LOL I did the same exact thing! Somehow I mirrored the ailerons and had to redo one of them, and as I was covering them last night, recalled my mistake when I saw the empty slot.

If you haven't glued the hinges, might want to get the gap a bit tighter. That much gap can lead to flutter and if those are the CA hinges, they can also crack easily with that much gap. Been...

Which part are you referring to? Not familiar with that. When I attach the wing it is pretty solid compared to the SIG Cub. That needs a lot of structural enhancements as a hard enough landing will...

The downside of going electric is you will need a hatch, or a means of getting the wing off and on easily for swapping out the pack. Because the cabin nose is so small, you might need to cut open the...
