Texskypilot, did you ask or did Sig tell you where they would have their kits manufactured? I suppose it would have to be mostly China. May be some other place like Thailand could do it. My friend Jef Hopper in Prescot Valley, AZ owned Advanced Lazer Cutting, or Concepts, I can't remember which. He had more work than he could do in about 1999. Mostly custom kits from plans but people like Sig and Lanier were calling all the time and asking how much for this kit and that. His labor was mostly women who worked fast and were really good with their hands. Pay was as I remember it, just above minimum wage. And there is the problem. What is it now, about $9 and hour. Er go, how do you/we compete with the PRC??? Just thinkin. PS, love the Monocoupe. I flew the full scale with my dad many years ago and I built & flew the Icon N'West quarter scale a few years back. US engines 41. My helper and advisor was Mr. Steve Crow of Chino Valley, AZ, a WWII spitfire pilot with 3 or 4 kills. What a guy, mosest and just a real pilot and RC modeler. It was the most difficult and time consuming model I ever built!!!!Wallace Tharp
