RE: LETS SAVE SIG BEFORE THEY GET SWALLOWED BY THE BIG TWO!!!
Sig is one of the best kit designers I have ever seen.
I have owned or currently own from Sig:
Sundancer 50 bipe (lost in a midair last year 2011)
King Kobra Going through rework after the covering started falling off. Getting fiberglass and paint with retracts this time. A spare kit under the bed.
Multiple Kougars. 2 in service right now. One electric, one glow, Both fly great. And a spare kit under the bed.
Kadet Mark 1 long gone. Had in the 80's sold it to another guy to train on.
A Kobra kit. Waiting to be started.
Electric F190. It died a horrible death when the speed controller failed.
As long as they stay in business I will buy from them. I do not think they are in trouble. I think the arf's are not up to par and they refused them. Balsa is also in short supply at this time because of the large wind turbines using balsa in their blades.
A SS 90 with retracts is not to much for a King. I had SS90 in mine for a bit. Then a fox 74, finally put a Rossi 61 FIRE engine with tuned pipe. That give me what I really wanted for performance.
