Leroy

CanDo 01-22-2014 04:37 PM

I'm definitely a Sig guy. I've built and flown a Mid Star 40, 4-Star 40, Astro Hog, Kadet Seniorita, Little Rascal, and a Kadet Senior. The Space Walker II is on my "To Do" list. Please count me in!

JPMacG 01-22-2014 04:44 PM

Can I join? I have a SkyRay, Hog Bipe and MidStar and will be starting a Wonder soon. Also plan to build a 1/5 scale Cub in the future.

Thunder Chicken 01-22-2014 05:04 PM

I have enjoyed every Sig kit/plane i've built and flown. Four star 40, 60, kadet senior (7 of them) and a Kommander! The four star 40 is my go to plane to have a fun, relaxing evening at the field.

jeffie8696 01-22-2014 05:18 PM

Can you add me to the Brotherhood, I've built six Sig kits over the years. Keith

Cutlass 60 01-22-2014 05:39 PM

Add me to this group. I have built and flown over the years, 2 Kougars, a Hog Bipe, An Astro Hog, a clipped wing Cub, and a 4 Star 40. Every one was great to build and a blast to fly. The Kougars are long gone, but the rest are still in my Hanger,

Mr-Punk 01-22-2014 05:49 PM

Count me in. I've built 2 4 star 40's, a 1/6 scale Sig Cub and a Kadet Senior. The 4 Star #2 is my go to fly everyday plane. I love that Sig is making a comeback and didn't go the way of most of the other staple rc companies in the old days.

Sabreryder 01-22-2014 07:10 PM

Currently have a Astrohog Bipe, 4 Star 60 and A Senior Kadet! Also have a Sig P51 Mustang Kwik Build kit for sale!

I will edit the first post and have an idea to make this a little easier for every body.

If you are a first time subscriber to this thread and want a number, copy the list above, and paste it in your post, then add the next available number which from this post is #22.

I will try to review these every day and keep this first one up to date. I may miss a day or two, so hopefully doing it like this can keep things in some sort of order. :)

Thank you sir! Added to my signature.

SushiHunter 01-23-2014 09:43 AM

I like SIG planes. First one I had was a SIG Kougar Mark II, back in '81. Had a K&B .61 with fuel pump, Futaba four channel. I built and flew two more SIG Kougars in the mid 90's with O.S. Max .61 and Futaba four channel again. Built my most recent SIG Kougar in '13 with an O.S. Max .65AX & Mac's Tuned Pipe. This build was special in tribute to all the previous Kougars I had built previously. So I did some special modifications to the electronics of the plane. Unlike the previous Kougars, this one has a total of six servos (one per aileron, one per rudder & nose wheel, independent from each other). Also has sensors for engine temp & RPM and GPS which provides data for alt, speed, atmospheric pressure (rate of climb). Transmitter is the Futaba 18mz. I built this Kougar special just for this reason as mentioned above. Power plant was broken in on the bench using the stock muffler that came with the engine. Once the break in process was successfully complete, the stock muffler was removed and the Mac's tuned pipe was installed, which increased the max rpms by roughly 1,000.

Currently building a SIG Komet. It's a really old vintage kit but totally complete. Bought it recently and the build is at about 50% complete. Being an old vintage kit, this build is very special. I'm planning to use the O.S. Max .65AX power plant in this plane as well. So far, this SIG Komet build is the best build I've ever done to date. Finished putting the skins on the wing cores the other day and they both turned out amazing! The assembly of the fuselage, horizontal and vertical stabs are nearly complete. Majority of work ahead on these components is the sanding.

I do love these SIG planes:)

RCKen 01-23-2014 11:25 AM

You know what?? I completely forgot about the 4-Stars. I've had list 6 4-Star 40's, 3 4-Star 60's, and 3 4-Star 120's!!!!

Live Wire 01-23-2014 12:25 PM

Did you by any chance happen to buy out Sig at some time. LOL In my time I have own and built just about every thing they had . I have the T-34 and put the P61 into the turf. What a great bunch of planes.

Jim Branaum 01-23-2014 02:05 PM

I stopped building Sig Kougars at #21 because we moved to a grass runway and the nose gear used to drag way to much. Part of that problem was because since about 1988 I have been using Saito's 50 and 56 which work best with a 12 inch prop and I lengthened the gear legs by 1 inch. In grass that makes the nose (dragger) way too soft and I was not interested in converting an existing plane to a tail dragger and did not have another kit. I guess I have to build my 4* for it to count...

triumphman49 01-23-2014 03:46 PM

I'd also like to join this brotherhood. Rekitted a 4*40 many years ago, currently have a Smith MiniPlane nearing completion with a Saito 60T up front, a 4*60 that's rite behind it to use as an engine test bed, and down the road a bit, a 1\3 Spacewalker for my Saito 270 twin.

If I understood rite, #22 suits me just fine, or whatever you assign in the next update list.

Many Thanx

Well here is my Sig. I have owned 3 other sig kits, like the kadet etc. But this was my favorite. It is DLE 55 powered Morrisey Bravo and is a rocket.

Glenn

FlyerInOKC 01-24-2014 06:14 AM

Now if the current owners would just start producing new/discontinued kits again we could expand our SIG fleets! Even if they took pre-orders inadvance so they would know how many they could sale.

malitape 01-24-2014 07:52 AM

Please add me to this brotherhood.

OLDFLYER2 01-24-2014 08:40 AM
