From what is written on the internet (so it must all be true) they've had various problems with the ARF manufacturer. Quality issues, cash flow, etc; and supposedly they do not know IF they will ever have any more ARFs.
There has been a lot written about the wind turbine companies buying up the balsa supply for their blades, making it hard for the kit companies to get good wood at a good price.
Another rumor is that Mrs Sig sold the company and the new owners are not doing very well.
I hope a lot of it is just rumor.
This is true. I went to the sig fun fly, hey held it a Hazel (previous owner of sig) flying field and her house. I was talking to her and she said shes mad at how they are running the company. She said they are pocketing most of the money, and putting none into the business. We need sig.
