All I have left of a Sig Ninja is the foam cores. The rest, including the plans and building instructions, were lost in a flood. I need to know a few basic measurements so I can use the cores for something else other than a glider. How long was the nose..wing LE to nose tip? Distance from wing TE to LE of stab? Basic dimensions/areas of the stab and rudder. Stuff like that. Anybody able to fill in those details? TIA Bill Kolofa

Bill,
I purchased a used Ninja at a swap meet. It's measurements are as follows:
Fuselage fuse length 37-1/4" (NOT LOA measurement - add elevator chord for LOA) wing LE to nose 10-1/4" wing TE to stab LE 12-7/8"
Stab and Elevator (measurements given INCLUDE Elevator - Elevator chord is
1-1/2") root chord 5-3/8" tip chord 3-1/2" span 18" (Elevator hinge line is at back of fuse)Vertical Fin and Rudder (moveable Rudder is optional - measurements given INCLUDE Rudder) root chord 6-3/4" (rudder root chord 1-1/2" - INCLUDED in previous dimension) tip chord 2" (rudder tip chord 1" - INCLUDED in previous dimension) fin height 6" rudder TE sweep 10 deg (80 deg from root chord line) Trailing edge of Fin/Rudder Root is at rear of fuselage, forward of Elevator hinge line.
Wing root chord 10-1/8" tip chord (hard to measure - tip block is 1" wide)(my tip block has a curved LE) span 58" aileron - Span 22", Chord 1-1/2" (outboard end of Aileron stops at outboard end of core, tip block is solid to wing TE)
Hope these help you Ken Barnes
