RE: SIG planes
I originally learned and soloed on a Sig Kadet 3 channel, thirty something years ago. I had many hours of enjoyable flight with it.
For one reason or another I got out of the hobby and didn't resume until last year.
I soloed last June in a new Sig airplane, a red and white Kadet Senior ARF. I have well over 100 flights on it with a few minor repairs.
I am working on a new Sig airplane at this time, a red and white Rascal 110 with a Saito 1.50.
I obviously like Sig products and I like red.
