What discontinued kits would you like to see Sig bring back? Sig produced some of the greatest kits of all time like the Komander and the Liberty Sport. I realize that a snowball has a better chance but I can dream!

Their old Fairchild PT-19 Kit# RC-2 designed by Chuck Hollinger.
72" wingspan just right for a nice .90 4-stroke.

i would like to see the kommander brought back as well. i have one and the thing flies fast and aerobatic but settles in smooth for landings and such. a great second airplane if you ask me.

I'd like to see the Kommander come back also. Another favorite of mine from years ago is the little Aero Bipe. I had at least 2 of them and loved that little plane.

The kits that I see, that appear to command top dollar are the Ryan STA and the Mustang 450. The Plastic shelled P-51, cessna 150 and 172 and chipmonk seem to not really go over well. The Morrsey Bravo is another.. is that still produced?

Chadler Ace, I am so glad you asked the question. I am looking for and think it would be nice if they came back out with the YAK 18-P! Whadaya think? That was a neat plane. I had one in 80' about fifty percent built and let it go. Man! anyone know where I can find one????

I too like the little Aero Bipe by Sig ..... I built and flew one in the mid seventies, it was powered with an OS Max .10 engine and used the single actuator by Rand to control all three functions (rudder / elevator / throttle) ...... I reckon this was better known as 'Galloping Ghost'! I wonder if the Sig Mfg 'Aero Bipe' plans are available out there anywhere?

The great fly'n Sig Zlin ought to be on any list of sad departures from their offering. It was a bear on the ground for any novice, but immediately turned into a pattern ship in the air.

Would a .60 Kouger be cool??? Or maybe a .40 Kobra??? Would the Bravo have survived as a .60???

Sig bought Duke Fox'es old Berkeley Kit line. I would like to see Sig produce new improved 35"-65" w/s balsa scale model kits baed on the Berkeley designs re-designed for lightness and suitable for either electric or IC power. In particular I'd like to see the Stinson Reliant, Cessna 170, Cessna Cessna L-19 Bird Dog kits and Beechcraft Bonanza's made available in laser cut format again

Unfortunately.....I doubt you will see any kits brought back, or any new ones for that matter. The kit business as we have known it for all these years will slowly start to die out. The guys that have the ability and desire to build them are aging....and it seems like most people would rather fly than build. Thus, we have the ARF market.

One of my LHS's has a beautifully fully built Liberty Sport hanging for sale.

Get rid of the cheap labor in China and the ARF market will dry up. Then we'll have more kits.

Thank God for kit cutters. I have been having mine cut for my by Buzz Evans. He does a hell of a job and the price is right. Got a Flea Fli I am about to build in the next few weeks he cut. Might have to do a build thread on it.

Or just start protecting our industries like the Chinese do theirs. Unfortunately, that's not about to happen.

I just received a Sig doublerII, I bought it on an impulse because I also have a Cox/RJL conquest .15. Right now I have no desire to build it, so it may go on the shelf, or I would resell both engine and kit (NIB) for 130.00 shipped, Kit is (NIB) engine is slightly used but excellent cond.

Hi,I noticed that the Morrisey bravo(SIG) was mentioned in the thread,could you please tell me if it would be a plane worth building,the good and bad points on it?? just want to find out if it would be time well spent/money,seems that you fellas have alot of experence with the older kits. Thank you for your time.
