I hear what your saying. My concern with Sig is in the arf department. I went to Toledo a few years ago and spoke with their reps. whom were very optimistic then too. That was also around the time when their arfs became unavailable.I really hope that is the case! Looking at their website they only offer a handful of arfs. I just don't understand why the 4 star, being one of the best selling models in their history kit or arf is not available to purchase as an arf. Lets face it arfs are where the hobby is today. For whatever reason they don't have alot to offer in that dept. and kit builders are more scarce then ever. It seems hard for me to believe without more to offer in the arf line up that they are as secure as they once were.
I just don't want to in the near future have to buy a great planes 4 star 40 a sig classic reborn thanks to hobbico.
If you were the owner of Sig at Toledo wouldn't you also be optimistic to a potential customer?

Let's face this - ARFs must be built. And some kits just don't lend themselves to quick builds. ARFs also need cheap labor to build them and that usually means China - so you want the Sig designs to wind up in China?
Sig usually means low cost kits. There are so many ARFs out there let them stay low cost kits. As for the 4-Star just buy a Goldberg Tiger II or 60 ARF.
