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.

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.

I also like the Magnum Plus. I'd say it's a highly underrated design. NW Skyraider's own Rod Claus (Kraut) is building one for a Fox Eagle .60 (a good combination). Mine is ex-Dirt, and has a detuned ST G.51 for power. I wish it had more suds, but it does fly well. It's 62 oz. It'll fly great with a ST .60 at under 60 oz.  Steve
