          Used to build and fly this stuff 30 years ago could not fly now reactions too slow.


          Looking foreward to seeing this finished.

              It's nice to have someone else join me in this SIG Peter and a nice choice I will also watch what you do with it.

                Nice choice Peter, lots of construction steps with a biplane. Keen to see the construction build progress.

                  Here we go with the first half of the fuselage not much to it.


                  This is before and after sanding


                  Normally by now I would have broken half a dozen bits by now.

                    Nice one Peter, always wanted one and shied away from doing it. Will see how you crack on and maybe...just maybe...I may get one.

                              Fair play, means you'll be able to detail it nicely!
