Of Airshow Pilot Erik Edgren’s Clipped Wing Taylorcraft
“T-CLIPS” is no ordinary clipped wing Taylorcraft. Originally a stock 1939 Taylorcraft, this is the only clipped wing T’craft in the world currently flying airshows with an original size engine. Airshow pilot Erik Edgren refers to this as “Twistin It Old School”.
The SIG T-CLIPS 70 EG ARF is a sport scale version of Erik’s striking red and black show stopper. Designed for a “60” size electric motor or glow engine, the T-CLIPS 70 flies as good as it looks. Basic precision aerobatics are its specialty – inside and outside loops, slow rolls, point rolls, snap rolls, cuban eights, spins, and inverted flight are routine for this everyday sport aerobatic airplane.
