Default RE: LETS SAVE SIG BEFORE THEY GET SWALLOWED BY THE BIG TWO!!!

43 yrs. ago when I started modeling w/ my Dad , SIG balsa, glue, glow fuel, kits, etc. were the standard of the industry. One of our younger club members has an ARF Kadet Senior and large Rascal both EP. They both fly great! I wish the new owners the Best. Here's my SIG list: Buster & Shoestring C/L Goodyear racers, several Twister C/L profile Stunters, 2- Banshee C/L Stunters, Chipmunk & Akrobat C/L Stunters, Magnum C/L stunter( best I ever had, much better than my Noblers ) SIG Cub F/F rubber stick model, a George Perryman v-tail F/F rubber model I forget the name , Astro Hog, Colt, King Kobra among others. TONS of scratch built models using SIG wood. Hazel Sig is a modeling icon. At her and Maxey's c/l event in the early '90's, we got the tour of the "shop" and their new at the time lazer cutting machine. At the free bean supper Hazel mingled with all of the modelers and seemed to thoroughly enjoy herself. Maxey Hester and Claude McCollough were a couple of excellent designers and Mike Stott and Mike Gretz designed and flew Sig's C/L stunters and Scale competitively. Great thread here. What a trip down memory lane!
