Default ARF or kit?

SIG kits are excellent choice for the quality, precision laser cut and fitting, superb instruction manuals, and great customer support. Good for first time builders.
Not to get too far off the subject here, but I just want to interject something. I have built virtually every major manufacturers kits, and the above statement is only true (from what I have found) of Great Planes kits, Top Flight Gold series, and post 80's Goldberg kits.

Sig still has a lot of kits out there that were designed in the 70's and do not use many of todays building techniques.

Many of their kits (4* series; SE; and many more) are excellent kits. But to say "SIG Kits" (as a whole) are excellent and easy for first time kit builders is misleading. If you don't believe me, try building one of there 1/4 scale cubs.
