RE: Sig Smith Mini Plane
DaveB,
I call what you found the "first law of Ebay"....know what something goes for retail! It's hard to imaginge,but I find it all the time, but folks are selling stuff at retail there. I think the Mini is about $112 retail from SIG, plus shipping. I got mine new in box off of ebay for $91, including the shipping. The price Carrell has from Quantum is good, sure wish I'd found that site before!
The kit is nice, just reminds me of the Citabria. There a few steps where you can tell they didn't have access to new technology, so I figure I can "improve" things a little. Mine's going on the board soon and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions to throw out to everyone here. I haven't decided how to power it yet, but I'm leaning towards a 2 stroke with a pitts muffler because I have a think about minimizing cowl cutting. I've evern considered using an RCV 58CD or maybe even the 60SP if I goe really nuts!
Pick up the kit and get building and we can compare notes!
