| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 10-Jun-17 18:46 |  | | Views : 681 | | I had to build in some left thrust, in addition to the downthrust, on the thin balsa shim plate, between the noseblock and foreward fuse former. The left thrust from the shim plate seems to counteract the right turn from the rudder and the prop torque, giving a straight flight during initial power burst, after which the prop slows down, (and eventually stops), giving a nice right turn later in the fllight from the rudder offset. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 10-Jun-17 18:41 |  | | Views : 682 | | Wound up 450 turns and ready to go. This Sig 22" "Cabinaire" is all "trimmed out", with no tabs on the wings, stab, or rudder. The rudder has been glued with the slightest offset for a right turn. |
