yes i agree. sig still is one of the better arfs on the market.i have their somethin extra arf that is now 4 years old and it is one of the best of 9 arfs i own. i believe sig demands better quailty from their china manufactures. but their arfs seem to be more expensive now. the somethin extra sells for around $200.00 now.pretty pricey for a .45 size plane though. sadly one of my favorites, great planes seems to be having quality problems now. but all have their up's and downs. you will read one post and someone is bashing a certain company. then you will read another post someone is praising their products. i believe these companys have no control of the quality of their products made in china. they will manufacture a good batch of a model but the next batch will have issues.
