Default RE: Dwindling kit suppliers

I'd also recommend that Sig re-release a kit of their Clipped-Wing Cub. Like many of us with a kit stash, last fall needing a project I decided to build the Cub. What a great kit. The wood was excellent, even after sitting in my attic for 6+ years, and the kit went together easily. With the narrow gear and large wing area (even the Clipped-Wing version has a lot of area), it was sometimes a handful to take off with a little cross wind. It flew like a dream and would do most of the antics we used to see at full-size air shows - crazy low-level aerobatics that no sane person would do . Well, last Friday, the cross wind caught up to me and I bashed the fuselage badly. Wing and tail are ok, so it may be next winter's project. All of this goes to say that I hope Sig stays around. I have built a number of their kits and still have a few in the attic. Their attention to detailed plans and the quality of their wood really makes their kits a bargain. Lee
