I worked at Sig from 1976-78 as a product engineer. I actually test flew the first Kavalier for Claude...the very one pictured on the box label. Flew great from the start, no changes required. What a great time for modeling back then....working at Sig was like going to model airplane school. I got to work with Claude, Mike Gretz, Maxey Hester, Hank Pohlman etc. and learned from all of them. Hard to believe it was nearly fifty years ago. There were 150 employees then, and the saw room ran 24-7 cutting balsa.
That had to have been a great experience and obviously a lot of good memories!
