    Review/Comments

     

    I believe this plane has been discontinued by Sig.  I know it was in their line for many years.  I took my time building this plane and it was a learning experience for me. I love the look of this plane and it flies as well as it looks.  It has tons of power and I think with the right pilot you could make it do anything. The final weight of the plane is 12.5lbs.
