Wow! that's a lot! Usually, if the plans don't match the parts, the parts are right. Plans will expand and contract as they are shipped to various climates. Parts not so much. But that much? I dunno....

Master Airscrew makes a nifty little razor plane. Makes shaping those leading edges a lot easier!

I think you may be too late for that. You need to drill holes in the ribs for the servo leads. It may still be doable, but it would be a pain in the butt.
I used two aileron servos in my Great...

Lucky you. I never re-create the box art, though. We already know what that looks like, right? When I get mine, I was thinking how cool the Kobra would look in Blue Angels colors, if I could find the...

A number of years ago, Supertigre started producing their engines in China. All seemed well, for a while.
Then, about two years ago, I tried to order a G-90 from Tower on line but they were out of...

Hey, Stickslammer! I just thought of another one...the Sig Doubler II. Designed for a .15, It's inspired by the Goodyear racers from back in the day.

I just remembered! House of Balsa used to kit a Spacewalker for a .15. I wonder if they still do. It's a great little flyer and cute as can be.

Yeah, the D-box definitely makes for a stronger wing, not to mention a truer airfoil. Weight gain is minimal. I guess Sig is trying to keep the price down. The Kobra is even cheaper then the Rascal....

Hey, Mark. It sounds like you're not too far from the Modesto/Stockton area. I knew a girl from there many years ago.
The Kobra doesn't use wing sheeting and cap strips?

I want to try to keep the weight under four pounds. Plus, It's become habit of mine to use one servo per aileron, mounting them in the wing and covering them with hatches. I really don't like to see...

Okay, Mark. That's good to know. I'll see if I can squeeze one into the budget. The kit is cheap enough, but I gotta factor in covering and servos and stuff. I think I'll go with high torque, metal...

You're killin' me, Mark. You're killin' me, I tell ya! I had forgotten just what a slick airplane the Kobra really is. Nice job! She looks like an F-16, a T-38, and a Dirty Birdy had a 3-way. Hope...

Ouch! The dreaded figure 9.
Wait! You have two kits? Can I have one? I've got a Webra Speed 32 that will yank it!
I'll trade you for it?! Wouldn't it be cool with retracts? Yes, it would!
