Default RE: new sig arfs


ORIGINAL: Merlin1205


I refuse to give my money to a company that hires people who pass off their design flaws as a customer's inexperience.
I think Sig has some of the best made ARF's around, but they ARE still ARF's, and not as good as kitbuilt any time. I'll buy an ARF, but won't fly it as it comes out of the box; it's gonna get beefed up in at least two areas: firewall and landing gear.

As far as pics of an SRE goes, how 'bout the real thing? This is an SRE which was at Creve Coeur Airport this weekend. Magnificent machine. I didn't know until seeing the full scale that the wings aren't fabric. They are sheeted with wood, and were slick as glass. This one was once owned by Frank Borman(Apollo 8 astronaut, former prez of Eastern Airlines)
