I'm curious with all the discussion that extended beyond a year or two already about these issues,
why didn't people acknowledge the companies troubles before suffering the same fate?

Another question, if SIG is dead to you, why do people believe SIG models are unique to a good flying experience, when Balsa USA kits are readily available?
B USA has no customer service issues, and those models fly just as well.
Balsa USA has been around for decades. The wood is of good quality, and they don't use hardly as much plywood as SIG does.

Free shipping, many for $152.99. I've flown the Smoothie,
Stick 40 Plus - When I resumed the hobby in 2003, it was my first trainer, beaten to death by 5 previous beginners learning how to fly at the flying field,
and it survived teaching me too, and I passed it on to the next guy as well, so that's 7 I know about. Very durable model, no matter how many times it was auger'd in.
I have a Phaeton ll now. It flies very nice, an OS Surpass 70 goes on it next.
The Moonraker looks like a very common sport plane that can be EP Power as well.
Why not support a company that isn't "moving"?
