I am considering getting the sig smith miniplane next. I have a couple questions...

1. Where can you find them for sale on the net (for price comparison to my LHS)?
2. From what I have read, the cabanes (sp) are extremely hard/aggravating to get correct.
Is it possible to leave the balsa off of the wire or does the balsa add needed strength to
the cabanes?
3. Same with landing gear?
4. Any tips/links to building, setup, or flying this plane would be appreciated. (I have built a
lazy bee and speedy bee so sticks are not foreign to me)
5. Thanks for your time.
