SIG Monocoupe by scirocco14. Viewed 2010 times. Build Thread  Prev Click image to return. Image Comments scirocco14 20-Jul-09 19:56 Good news! After repairs, I waited until the wind calmed down and did some test flights. The gliide tests were perfect so I put about 150 winds in it (1/4" FIA tan, 1 loop) and got a nice little flight. Then I put 300 winds in it, crossed my fingers and let 'er go. She climbed and banked to the left and gave me a nice lazy left hand circle for about 10 seconds. Beautiful attitude in the air, so stable and peaceful. Woo hoo! I need a bigger field if I'm going to give it full winds though... jgood 20-Jul-09 23:03 Wow, that sounds great, congratulations! scirocco14 09-Aug-09 20:45 Update: thanks to the help from folks on this site and other FF sites, I've been able to tune the Monocoupe so that it'll do one big circle and land at my feet after about 15-20 seconds of flight. My yard isn't quite big enough to tempt fate and go for a second loop! But the plane flies wonderfully and it's been very educational trying to learn how to power it and trim it. FLYBOYZ 09-Aug-09 21:58 Wow!Whats the wing span on that baby! scirocco14 09-Aug-09 22:44 Only 24"... scirocco14 09-Aug-09 23:17 Oh, and some I tried some crazy things while tuning it. I moved the knot from back on the peg to about 1/2 way up in the fuselage. Don't know why but it balanced better and the motor unwound better too. Please sign in to comment on this image.
