Well the quickie got sidelined, waiting on covering and a pushrod tube. My friend had a death in the family so I’d rather not bother him with the needed parts. So for a few days the plane got moved to the side. Started the Sig Wonder. Got the ribs, too and bottom spar, leading and trailing edges glued down. It should be a fast build. Not much there to build!! Calls for a .15 engine but I have a .28 that should do nicely. And then there is the .32 lol. Who knows.

Time change got me last week. And I needed to set up a couple rifles. That slowed me down as well. The Wonder is coming along. The main wing is almost complete, I need to shape the wingtips.

Brought this 62 inch wing into the hanger for repairs. I added LED lights a few months ago and didn’t check the balance. The lights made it tail heavy and it spun in and broke the sparks. Today I am replacing the spars, repairing the broken lights and patching the covering. And I’ll balance it this time!!

@WeedHopper I have a radio receiver that will fly this plane😂. @RosterMan I’ve never used silk and dope. I’m a youngin at 35, plastic covering is all I’ve known. The next build is a Champion Citabria and I am thinking of using fabric on that

My wife hates this color scheme. Says it’s like ketchup and mustard. Red going on next.

I use to build old biplane balsam my own design but never powered any with engines
Some I used large rubber bands to get them to do short flights.
They came out really nice , frame work was all coated and doped.
With I had pics.
 
We use to build them out of balsom and fly them by strings with us turning in circles or swinging them over our head. Then we would fight them until one couldn't fly anymore. Was fun as hell. Swinging those fkers around and crashing into each other's plane. 🤪
 
French fry is going on the vertical stabilizers. Ketchup bottle on each wing. Hot dog going on each side of the fuselage 😂😂😂
