Sig Kadet - Twin Otter winter project

Michael · January 03, 2021, 05:16:41 PM

More work on the nacelles, and aileron servos being fitted.

Basic construction and assemble is as per the plans and instructions.

The pushrods are constructed (circa 1980-style) of ¼" square balsa and wire bound together with thick thread and glue.

Looking good Michael.
Was the lighting graphic a sticker or Monokote job?

It was an old leftover graphic.

Looks great. We could be Twin twins!

"Winter project" - finishes Jan 7. I think we need to take away half of your tools or something to slow you down. What a great result!

Michael · January 07, 2021, 03:31:42 PM

More covering, trim decoration and landing gear installation. (First flight is likely to be off skis.)

Michael · January 07, 2021, 05:03:27 PM

Wing wiring.

That looks amazing. Great kit bash!

Michael · January 08, 2021, 06:42:27 PM

All finished, except throws need to be adjusted. To be maidened off snow. (More detailing after the maiden. I hope.)

Yep, a Sig Cadet alright...from another planet.
What a great kit bash. Good job.
