Hi Guys,
I don't build as fast as Sparky so bare with me on the progress.
The Magnum Plus was a collaboration between Randy Smith & Tom Dixon from YEARS ago. I got the plans one year from Tom Dixon, when we were flying in Rome, Ga. I have built several Sig Magnums to date but after a freak crash of my latest and best Magnum before the 2002 NATS, I stopped. It kinda let the air out of my sails.
For you Magnum builders out there this is the upgrade that you have wanted. All the things that make a Magnum a good airplane has made her better. Taller Fuse IE more side area, stiffer fuse fore & aft of the wing, fuse landing gear.
As it sits now a weight of 26.7 ounces which is quite a difference from the all of the Sig Magnum's I have built over the years. I am shooting for a 55 ounce offering with carbon veil covering, rattle can primer, Brodak Dope and Auto clear.
Wish me luck.
A special Thanks to Robert, man what a great web site, very informative and NO BS
Thanks Again.
Mike Clark
The hole up front is filled by a T&L ST60 which will swing a 13/5 Zinger but after all the new stuff that I am trying on this ship, maybe a new three blade prop maybe in the works, any suggestions.
