Guys get me a number ! My very first RC plane in the mid 1970's was a Sig Mustang 450- took months to build and the maiden flight (mine and the plane's) lasted 8 seconds. Also had Sig 1/5 Cub, and presently have a Something Extra kit and Something Extra ARF..

Hey Tom! Always glad to see another brother checking in. Welcome to the SIG Brotherhood!! Gotcha logged with #206. Y'know, you're only the 3rd brother to claim the Mustang-450. It's a shame she didn't last longer, it's a nice looking plane design.

Anyway, here's the SIG Brotherhood, as I've got us today:

Very nice looking Rascal-168, acdii. Very nice indeed.

OK guys, so far I've got the RC-27 Ryan STA, RC-32 Komander & Mk-II, RC-33 Liberty Sport, RC-41 Beechcraft Bonanza, and RC-57 Morrisey Bravo. I'd like to add the RC-25 AeroBipe and RC-34 Skybolt to the list, and I'm thinking of adding the RC-2 PT-19 (always had a thing for that airplane).

Any other nominations?

Don't wait too long you'll have the whole obsolete SIG catalogue nominated.

How about the Kadet Jr? It's a nice little three channel plane that requires no plastic or FG parts, just some creative carving around the nose and windshield, similar to the MKII

Yes a nice flying airplane. If I build this one again I would put ailerons on it but it flies just fine without them.

Yeah, definitely the Relic. Tristar's one of the most unusual SIG designs I've seen. Never saw one fly though - bet it would be great.

OK Guys, I built a group Facebook page, it is a private group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/151429495520775/about/ I need a couple admins, I got the Crunch already added, so Skylark, if you have an account, can you shoot me a message if you're interested?

Yep, I currently have too many kits too build in the next two years. But if SIG re-introduced the Ryan STA as a Laser Cut Kit, I'd have to buy it and move it to next to the Build Table!

acdii - for sure, for sure. The STA was *EARLY* on the list.
Oh, yeah - I'd certainly be on-board for the FB page, but not as an admin.
