Pennbrit; If you had heard or followed the story on Sig Products and the problems they are having, it comes down to the same thing. Sig ordered a lot of ARF's from a Far East Company and when they arrived at the docks they could only pay for part of the order. So as the story goes, the Far East Co. sold the rest to NitroPlanes. Evidently for what they could get for them, because the ARF from Sig would cost $134.00 dollars and the same ARF minus the Sig name from NitroPlanes was $84.00 dollars. I know for I bought one!
Typically when you import some product it is paid for prior to even being loaded on the boat. Even though SIG is having some problems I don't buy the lack of funds story. Until they can find another vendor for their Kadet Senior ARF and the LT40 ARF their will be no more of them that SIG claims.

SIG side of the story is that someone is copying their Senior and LT40 ARFs - could even be their original vendor for those planes.
