I have just recently purchased a New Sig Four Star 20 EP, I am currently waiting for it to be despatched to me. I am planning to put a ASP 0.30FS (four Stroke) in the plane and wondered if anyone has had any experience with ASP engines and could tell me their opinion on them. Also I would like to hear from anyone who has built and flown any of the SIG Four Star range as I would apreciate any tips or hints they may have and what they flew like. I plan on beginning the build as soon as I recieve it, which should hopefully be this week.....can't wait! Tony

Hi David, How is the build coming along I guess it must be close to finished now, any news or photo's?
-
I've got an SC .25 engine for mine and four JP Supertec Mini servos as these all seem to be the recomended.
-
Looks good David, Keep up the good work and the photo's it will be great when it's finished. This blog will help me no end when I come to build mine later in the year. I have all the wood, servos, engine, plan and a new Scroll Saw to build it with plus a very will bend undercarriage supplied by Jim (What a guy!). Just need a bit of time to fix my other two planes before embarking on this new project,
-
Thanks very much Jim you are a saint! the perfect wire U/C arrived in the post today. Thanks again Tony
-
Just a quick one for Peter, please can you confirm that this is the right canopy from Vortex Vacforms? CN46 BUBBLE 200 40 55 7.00

What if I bend two pairs of 10swg and bound them together with fuse wire and solder so there are two legs made of two pieces od 10swg bound together?
-
This is great, going well so far. This will be very usefull when I come to build my Harmony. One question for Peter, I decided to try making the undercarriage 8SWG wire undercarriage just to see if i could do it and I found it almost impossible with the wire bender I have as it is at it's max for wire size . Do you think the Harmony would be ok with a 10SWG wire undercarriage instead?
-
Looks good so far, with all you fancy wood work machinery to I see. I will watch this build closely as I am about to build my own too shortly. Good luck with the build I hope it goes smoothly.
-
Thanks guys you've been a big help. This plane was exactly what I have been looking for, I like something that I know how it has been built so I can fix it easily at minimal cost if it gets damaged, plus it looks great and will fit in my car with the wings attached, Keep up the good work Peter!
-
Thanks Peter, I don't fully understand what is mean't by the 1degree and 2degree wash out on the wing? does it meant I have to sand the wing to the same angle and thickness as the two washout drawings on the bottom left of the plan? Also what servos would you recommend Std servos look quite big for this model, and I have read that Hitec Micro HS-81's strip gears easily, I was thinking maybe two Metal Geared HS-81MG for the Elevator and Ailerons and maybe two HS-81 for throttle and rudder?
-
Thanks Peter, what do you think of using SIG Koverall to cover the plane then paint that? I have to say looking at the plan the main wing does look quite complicated compared to build kits I've built
-
Thanks guys, Do you think a painted tissue and dope covering would work well, or do you think it's a little old fashioned and weak?
-
So do you think the harmony could take a Solartex covering which has been painted or do you think it would be lighter with a solarfilm covering with some solartrim to make the desired colours. I was thinking of orange under the wings and fuselage with a gulf orange stripe down the middle of the fuselage from nose to tail with the rest of the planes sides etc being blue. What do you think would be the lightest and best way to achieve this?
-
Also, I know i'm not there yet but could you tell me what throws you have set your planes alierons, elevator and rudder to so I have a starting point when mine is ready to fly? Thanks guys
-
Surely the paint won't add much weight....will it? not enough to effect the model much, especially with the SC25 in it?
-
If I was thinking about painting the plane when I have built it what sort of covering would you recomend?
-
That's good then I usually land at around 9mins to be safe. I was thinking of doing a sports plane/car colour/sponsers scheme. something like gulf colours. What do you think?

Thanks guys Jim, Did you put a 4oz tank in your Harmony as the plan suggest seem's a little small for a SC25 to me, if you did how many minutes have you had flight time from it?

Hi everyone this thread is very interesting. I have the free plan which comes with the RCM&E Magazine (June 2010). The Harmony looks great! and just what the doctor ordered. I am looking to build the plane but I find it a little awkward to know what materials to buy. Please can you help? maybe you could give a breakdown in list form of all the materials required to build the Harmony so I know what to buy. I am planning on building the plane with a SC25 aero IC Engine, hopefully that should give it a good amount of power. I am currently flyng the ARF Blackhorse Travel Air without much difficultly how much different will the smaller Harmony be to fly? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Tony
