| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 18-Jun-17 09:43 |  | | Views : 361 | | Sig CUSTOMAIRE (not Cabinaire) plans. The plan is one sheet which has very handy isometric views of three important assemblies - forward fuse assy, center wing attachment assy, and tail wheel and tail section assy. The plan lines are thick and easy to read, and the thick big block Roman Gothic capital lettering on the plan is also very, very easy to read (for my old eyes). The solid balsa parts are also grain line directionally streaked and dotted (shading), all over the plan, which is very discernable and adds that touch of realism which truly makes for a great plan - designed by Paul McIlrath and traced by Claude McCullogh - very well done ! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 18-Jun-17 05:45 |  | | Views : 373 | | There are not a lot of pics of this model on the web (it was not an actual plane ...), so I will just go with these three Sig pictures. James would you please put this Sig "Customaire" Kit ff-26 onto the availabel aircraft list? Thank you. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 18-Jun-17 05:41 |  | | Views : 342 | | This model has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years. I was intimidated by it - Sig said it is their most challenging F/F kit - very light flyweight vac formed plastic wheels and plastic pants, and a complex nose assembly with a plastic cowling with a plastic dummy motor attached -intended for the "experienced modeller" - well, ... here goes ! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Customaire # FF-26 | Parked | 18-Jun-17 05:39 |  | | Views : 328 | | This is not the Sig "Cabinaire" - This is the Sig "Customaire" 20" biplane kit # FF-26 $24.50 (no exact scale as it was not a real plane) - but reminiscent of the classic WACO cabin biplanes of the 1930's. This will be my first attempt at building a biplane for free flight rubber power. |
