I had my LHS try and order me a 4*40. No luck, no estimated delivery date. Well, there are other shops nearby, guess I will drive around tomorrow and see what I can find.

I was also they told they just received a couple of containers of balsa. Time to order those kits I've been wanting.

You guys ever heard about a place called Papua New Guinea, look it up and check out its exports you just might be surprised. Now I'll go bush cause I figure my name might be on some Aussie modellers hit lists

My LHS has a few SIG kits. Of course, most people ignore them and walk towards the ARF's. Not the LHS' fault, customer preference. The LHS owner even has the kits at the entrance of the store. Seems like they sell once in a few months/year. Not as eye-catching as the big ARF boxes.

I wish SIG sold the Rascal 40 in kit form. I have the ARF and it is awesome. I just worry that I might crash it someday and don't have spares (no ARF's from SIG anymore!!!)
This post started as SIG status, so a mention of their ARFs is also relevant. I don't see that SIG has been selling any ARF's for a very long time. I see knockoffs of their ARFs sold all over by the Chinese online sellers. I heard from here in RCUniverse that the same manufacturer(s) that used to make the planes for SIG now sell them direct. But I also notice that the hardware included in the ARF's is not the same as the SIG quality hardware.

Aren't there cannibals and headhunters there? Or maybe that is a long time ago.

Yes that is true! I am from there, came over here for a better life with my family. 17 of us came over and I am the last one left, The reason I remember how many of the family came over is I just counted heads! Its kind of lonely over here but at least my freezers are full!

I think I am going to ''head'' out to Papua New Guinea. Maybe if I ''toss them a bone'', they'll give me some balsa wood?

RE: is SIG on it's death bed?
yes...if there's demand for something then the price goes up....when the price goes up competition enters the market...then the price goes down. It's the same for anything
