Hi, welcome to the hobby and RC Universe.

Wow! You are doing great if your second plane is a Sig Somthin' Extra. I have one of those and I like it too. I've been flying since 1984 and I've gone through a lot of balsa and Monokote since then. :)

Did you have an instructor teach you to fly?

Welcome
 
welcome to the hobby & the site. I am also new to this hobby and enjoy it tremendously. I don't have a 3rd plane yet but my 1st was a Hanger 9 Alpha trainer, and my second is a sig SE. just now covering the wings with monokote, I hope to have it in the air in 7-10 days. I am really looking forward to flying the SE. I hope that you enjoy this hobby to the fullest and then some...
