1st Balsa Build, Sig Four-Star 20

[Wildthing]

One step closer to being done, spinner arrived yesterday so it is on. Next just waiting on the battery holder so I can finish the wiring and final balancing.

Well my battery holder finally showed up so now I can finalize the Sig.

Balance point found

Hole cut and battery installed, glad I saved the plugs, came in handy to seal the hole.

Little extra covering and ready to go, well that is once spring shows up.

very nice - this looks like it will be a real speedster - how may nitros do you have now?!

Well this guy still hasn't flown yet, it just doesn't want to leave the safety of the ground. My latest so called gremlin is twice now and exact same scenario , get to the field and put the planes together then check voltage in all of them and all good. Then take it down to the stand and fuel it up, turn on the tx and then the plane but absolutely 0 voltage, shake it, wack it, thump it, you name it but nothing so go put it back up by the truck. Then when all done flying and taking all the planes apart I figure try turning it on again and of course I now have power and no matter what I do I can't get it to quit or even flicker. So out comes the battery pack again and now I am going to eliminate the battery holder and just solder the batteries together.

Did you check your switch, lost one nitro to faulty switch?

One of the first things but the plug where I charge through is before the switch and 0 voltage there.
