| I try to get planes to fly right at 100-150 winds, and then add more winds after the plane has shown it can fly OK. I've had planes with lots of winds climb quickly and stall and then the torque pulls the plane over and it power dives into the ground before the motor gives out, a tragic outcome. |

| If it still doesn't climb, I will increase the incidence by adding a 1/32" piece of balsa on top of the 1/16" tiny block. |

| I added a balsa shim Wedge Plate just behind the blue nose block, for added Downthrust, as this model never got higher than 4 feet off the ground - maybe 450 winds will also help ... |

All glued up and ready to try again when there is no wind. |

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. |

Stab repair for broken leading edge. The original tissue color has faded in three years. |

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. |
