I just started to put one of these together. I love the plane, the blue and white. It's a big plane, so I bought a .61 FX for it..
So far so good, but the ailerons were warped AWFUL, and Sig didn't want to do anything about it. They told me to heat them up and bend them in the opposit direction of the warp.. Gee thanks, a $200 kit I have to fix to use...I'm not done with them..

I have the ARf, did some whittling on it and made a taildragger out of it. Due to our weather I haven't flown it yet, maybe next week. Also have built several Kadet Seniors. Currently have one with floats, one which I extended the fuse 6 inches and added 10 inches to each wing tip, no landing gear[hand launch] for climb & glide. It stays up forever. The last is just plain old "kadet", all fly great and are lots of fun.

This plane caught alot of stares at the field. Well built and easy to assemble. I installed the recommended .46 two-stroke and with the 80 inch wing, it flys really well. Like stated above, this plane will float forever. Just point it into a nice wind and cut the throttle, it will become a kite. the plane required a few tons of weight to balance it though. the foam wheels didnt last long either. For a trainer, it is really great. no problem seeing it a distance. watch out for very windy days. I hear the kit has a shorter wing than the arf.
