 Will still be die cut. Don't forget the parts that were on print wood/silk screed.
Time will only tell. Hope it is not just a run of a parts clean up.

Sig kits were around when I first started in controlline, They were the only ones that Eds hobby store in covina ever had. The twister,banshee,chipmonk are some of my favorites and they did me well all the way thru advanced. Loved my two magnums too

Eds Hobby shop was one of the shops to go to for all your hobby needs.He knew how to run his shop along with his wife Peg. Keep it stocked and they will come. Now that there both gone even though their sons still run the store. I get the impression they did not learn well from their parents on how to run a hobby shop. Sad to see a once great shop that is no more.

Sounds like Johnny Clemmons hobby shop.   I was fortunate enough to go visit while he was still able to have it open.

Wow Ed's in Covina, back in the 80's when I started back in the hobby someone gave me a worn out Fox 15 S bushing, when at Ed's I asked the guy behind the counter if he knew where I could get a P/L. He turned reached in a drawer and handed a Fox 15 S P/L, blew me away.

This is my first purchase after a few days of research.  Hopefully my new Skyray and Akromaster will actually fly.  The price point allows me an opportunity to try this sport.  If I had to spent 200.00 for just a kit I would not ever get off the ground.  Thankfully Sig is still around for a newb like me.  Now finding the accessories is next.  This is a very difficult hobby to get information about.  Just getting a list of what I need has been almost impossible.  Thank you Sig.

Yo, Maurice...First...add your approximate location to your "profile". It could turn out that another member of the forum lives nearby and you could become flying buddies. Mike Fitzgerald asked me how to do that, so I'll go and figure it out and come back later if I have any luck...

There are several useful websites you can find via Google, but you might start with the Vendor's Corner below. Between these vendors, Tom Morris (Stunt Hangar Hobby), RSM and Brodak, you can get about anything you need. If you can't get what you need, asking is not frowned upon. It's really important to "have the right stuff"!!!  Steve

My son in law showed some interest in CL. He bought a Skyray. We've made some modifications to the control system and a made a handle with 2 inch line spacing. It was awful twitchy when set up according to the plans. It has ( sort of ) survived a few faceplants. When the glue dries, we'll try it with the less responsive controls. This thing will easily do loops, even with an extra ounce or so of gussets and epoxy.    

Had a lot of fun getting my 45 year old Cox .049s screaming again

I see they now have a Vintage Series that so far consists of only the Berkley Mini-Zilch. However it IS laser cut! I don't remember ever seeing this before so maybe they are fighting back.

[bob jablonski]

Sig may not be laser cut but for there price they are hard to beat.  I am glad they are still making KITS. Not very many RC kit manufacturers or large CL manufacturers. What is funny there seems to be more CL kit manufacturers that will deal with hobby shops then RC kit manufacturers. As long as company's make kits for shops I will carry them.

They are numero uno in RC trainers. The absolute best.

I just looked a sig twister . I bought last spring as a project to do this winter it's mostly laser cut and the wood is average wood . Not bad but not what you would call contest grade ? It looks like decent kit and as good if not better than some othere manufactures out there . Well worth the $55 I paid for it

[Maurice Thorne]

go Sig.  I can't wait for my new kits.  I am the new person to the hobby.  If I can do it, anybody can do it.  I am pushing it at work and getting new people.  keep it simple and cheap.
