RE: is SIG on it's death bed?
Sig kits love them. I have two kougars I am flying. One is electric and the other has a Rossi 45. A King Kobra on the boards getting updates after the covering fell off. (Damm moneycote) this time fiberglass and paint. retracts, rossi 61re with tuned pipe.
In the box I have another kougar and King Kobra. I also have the small Kobra. Some excellent designed airplanes that can handle everyday flying for years. Unlike an arf most I had won't last a season without falling apart.
GO SIG!
