Default RE: Idiot-proff kit

JLevin, While most of Sig's kits go together very easily, their Cubs (as DR1 said) are "Builder's Kits"

Unless you are a VERY competent builder who likes bending wood and then carving and sanding it to shape I strongly advise you to stay away from these.

I believe that they're 1/5 scale cub may be the exception to this, but I bought their 1/4 scale cub a few years ago expecting a relatively easy build and I was very disapointed. I can build "Builder's Kits" and when I'm ready to tackle one I love it. But when you're expecting a regular kit and you get a "Builder's Kit" it can really tick you off.

Not only is it a Builder's Kit, but it was engineered back in the 60's (The planes even show Kraft Servos) so the engineering is nowhere near what it is today. It DOES produce a beautiful plane IF you are a VERY good builder, but if you're just looking to build-and-fly, Avoid it!
