RE: Sig where are you?
SIG sells their products through distribution as well as directly. When you say you tried to order and they are all gone, do you mean through a certain distributor (e.g. Tower)? If so, you may consider that you are only looking at one outlet, which may simply means that that distributor is either out of stock or no longer carrying that product. It doesn't necessarily mean the manufacturer is going out of business.
I looked at two places and they are available:

It appears the Sig and Tower Hobbies are not playing along together. There is a thread on just this subject in one of the other forums here on RCU. Sig is very much in business and as mentioned, there kits are available by going direct or finding another mail order house on the net. You may want to also consult with your local hobby shop, they may be able to help you. Good Luck, Dave

RE: Sig where are you?
I have always heard dealing direct with SIG costs the same as other dealers..that would mean that without a middleman it would keep business healthier for SIG..so thats not bad. I imagine when it comes to ARFs Sig probably has a lag time between orders since they don't build them. My family is from down near there..sure wish I could have been a little involved working there as a kid.. would have been kinda fun I think.

The World Models Super Frontier is a knockoff of the Kadet Senior.

I just bought a Sig 1/5 Cub kit from a LHS when Tower didn't have it in stock. I got it in a few days. I also ordered Koverall and and related supplies directly from Sig and received prompt service and delivery. I don't think Sig is the issue here.

RE: Sig where are you?
It wouldn't be surprising if Tower dropped the SIG line; or, SIG decided to quite Tower as a distributor. Tower/Great Planes/Hobbico now own how many competing model airplane manufacturers?
