| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 21-May-17 09:07 |  | | Views : 439 | | I was having some fun on this Elvis Presley "Stern" pinball machine several years ago. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:41 |  | | Views : 500 | | This kit has 6 pages of great building and flying instructions (that I should have followed). The SIG "CLASSIC SERIES" assures flying ability and proven dependable flyers. You can expect hand wound flilghts to last 10 - 25 seconds, and stretch wound fllights to last 20 - 50 seconds. This model has been beat up and repaired a few times ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:35 |  | | Views : 432 | | "There was once a simpler time when the lines of a model airplane could have an almost magical effect on a modeler." |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:33 |  | | Views : 422 | | The kit plane has a wrap around windshield, side windows, and a transparent cabin roof, that I modified to cover the whole roof, and you can really see the construction framework and rubber motot inside the fuse. I also thickened up the wing struts and landing gear struts. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:29 |  | | Views : 450 | | KIT FEATURES: Instead of a thrust bearing for the prop shaft, there are 2 kit-supplied eyelets, that go into the front end and the rear end of the prop shaft hole in the noseblock, and the prop shaft spins inside these eyelets. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:25 |  | | Views : 447 | | These planes were the pinnacle of aviation excitement as they had classic lines, a graceful appearance, were sleek and slender, and they had "character"! |

| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:22 |  | | Views : 404 | | The 22" SIG "CABINAIRE", designed to fly free flight rubber powered, by Paul McIlrath, is reminiscent of the Vintage High Wing Cabin planes of the 1930s "Golden Age of Aviation" - the 20 year period between WW1 and WW2 - an era of elegant a/c design and tremendous advances in Aviation. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 15:46 |  | | Views : 476 | | All glued up and ready to try again when there is no wind. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 15:44 |  | | Views : 512 | | Stab repair is completed. The top of the back of the fuse has a tiny 1/16" square block of balsa glued on top of it, for positive incidence for the Stabilizer. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 15:40 |  | | Views : 444 | | Stab repair for broken leading edge. The original tissue color has faded in three years. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 14:39 |  | | Views : 527 | | I forgot to get my Hangar in order (Senior's Moment) - SIG "CABINAIRE" Kit # FF-20, wingspan 22" completed Oct 1, 2014 - weight 42 grams, $24.50 - no scale as it is not a real plane. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 16-May-17 21:21 |  | | Views : 444 | | Bad pic - you can barely see it, head high, going left. I let her go with 300 winds and it immediately went into a sharp left turn and steep dive and CRASHED into the soft grass !!! The right stab was twisted from a broken leading edge where I had not put in a gusset. "If at first you don't succeed ..." I am determined to get this figured out and get some good flying pics like Mlriley does. Back to the drawing board and stab repair ... |
