Preface
Remember when you first started gazing up at airplanes passing overhead wonder-
ing where each one was going. Soon it became a game to identify each plane by
sight - sometimes even by sound. Then you started making models of your favorite
airplanes, often a plastic model kit that you only imagined flying. But one day, you
built a model from nothing but sticks of wood and it flew! Maybe it didn’t fly well
and maybe it didn’t even survive that first flight but you NEVER forget the first time
something you created from parts and pieces took wing and headed for the sky.
Most of us can trace our love of aviation back to a very young age and many of us
have passed on our love of aviation and modeling to our children and grandchildren.
That’s how traditions get started.
Hazel
Here at Sig we have 56 years of modeling tradition. Back in 1951, balsa wood was difficult to find in
all the wide variety of pre-cut shapes and sizes we take for granted today. So, Glen and Hazel
Sigafoose started cutting and selling balsa wood out of the basement of their house. Now all these
years later guess what, Sig is still cutting balsa wood – still in the same small midwestern town of
Montezuma, IA using a homegrown workforce with decades of experience. Some of our employees
are third-generation with entire families carrying on the tradition at Sig.
Of course, we have expanded…just a little. What was once a basement is now 3 city blocks. What
was once just balsa wood is now paints, glues, covering, engines, fuel, hardware and field equip-
ment. Everything you need for model aircraft is right here at Sig. And then there are the airplanes
themselves. Over the years, a host of legendary designers have given us names like Kadet, Kougar,
Four-Star and Rascal. Our scale models are all competition winners including such classics like the
Citabria, Antoinette and Hazel Sig’s own Clipped Wing Cub. You can hardly call yourself a modeler,
if you haven’t flown a Sig airplane.
Today, Sig is one of the last manufacturers still producing model aircraft kits. While some of our
older classic models are produced as they were originally designed, a modern Sig kit is computer
designed, the plans are computer drawn and many parts are laser-cut from the designer’s original
computer file. In fact, a Sig kit isn’t really designed – it’s engineered.
But we also realize that today, many people simply don’t have
time to build a model airplane from a kit. Or, maybe you had a
mishap with your favorite model in late summer and there isn’t
enough time to build a model before the good flying weather
gives out. Sig has a great selection of pre-built (ARF) models as
well. We give the same attention to detail and the same design
expertise to our pre-built models as to our kits. In fact, many of
our famous kit designs are also available as an ARF model.
We invite you to join the Sig family – it’s a big family with
members in every corner of the world. And it’s a friendly family
– at any trade show, contest, or at Sig’s annual summer R/C and
Control Line Fly-In’s here in Montezuma, feel free to stop by and
say hello. We’d love to meet you.

It's Big!
At 70", the Sig LT-40
ARF is larger than other .40
size trainers on the market. This gives the LT-40 ARF two big advantages.
Visibility: The LT-40 ARF is simply easier to see. It's large wing stands out even at extreme distances. Compare the inset photo
here with the main picture on the previous page. You will notice that the color scheme on the top and bottom of the wing is
different. This helps you maintain orientation and if you get into trouble, helps you quickly determine the attitude of the model
so that you can give the proper command.
Beginners tend to let the model drift far away sometimes. When other trainers are just a small dot in the sky, you'll still be able
to see the LT-40 ARF and maintain control.
Wing Loading: Wing loading is how much weight the wing is carrying and for trainers; you want a light wing loading. This
means a lightweight structure and that big 70 in. wing. This enables the model to be stable and controllable at low speeds. With
the LT-40 ARF, you won't have that uncomfortable feeling of always being one step behind the model. Stalls are gentle, turns are
smooth and landing approaches are stable and predictable all the way to touchdown.

The Kadet EP-42 ARF was conceived from the ground up as the very definition of an R/C electric trainer. Over-size wing area
with a high lift airfoil, all but prevents unexpected stalls and ever-tightening spins. The "tail dragger" configuration, coupled with
a long tail moment, allows instructors to teach the fundamentals of aileron and rudder inputs, without over-control problems. In
the air, the Kadet EP-42 ARF has a large speed envelope, allowing it to be flown as slowly as needed for beginning pilots. Wind?
The efficient factory installed direct drive Super 400 motor is quiet, powerful and fully capable of flying the Kadet EP-42 ARF
smoothly through most any normal wind condition. And flight orientation is greatly enhanced with the high-visibility color
schemes.
Typically SIG, the Kadet EP-42 ARF is truly a "quick build"! The fully illustrated, step-by-step Assembly Manual takes the first-
time builder quickly through each assembly step. The kit itself is loaded with high-quality innovative features, such as the
factory installed "quick change" battery hatch mechanism, one-piece factory assembled wing and a tough landing gear mounting
system. Available in two color schemes, the Kadet EP-42 ARF is meticulously covered with SIG AeroKote® film. Born from a
legend, the Kadet EP-42 ARF fulfills the need for a true 4-channel electric trainer. Includes: Super 400 motor (more powerful than
standard 400-size motor), 30 A electronic speed control, 7 x 5 electric prop, quality hardware, cowl, decals and illustrated
assembly manual.

CAP231EX ARF
The awesome new SIG CAP 231EX ARF has it all. Let's face it; if looks alone were reason enough to own an airplane, you'd
have to own this one. The good news is that there is much more to this beautiful new SIG ARF than simply looks. To fly this
IMAA legal airplane is to experience what real R/C aerobatics is all about. This CAP is capable of everything imaginable and
then some.
SIG's new CAP 231EX has been specifically designed to fly as smooth as glass - until you pull the trigger! Features such as the
fully airfoiled vertical fin and horizontal stabilizer, coupled with built-up rudder and elevators, make the SIG CAP 231EX
exceptionally precise through all flight speeds. Dual, electronically coupled elevator servos insure precise pitch control. The
rudder is driven by a single servo, using an efficient pull-pull system. Aileron servos are located in each wing panel, offering
precise roll control for some of the finest axial rolls you've ever done. Set it up with standard recommended surface throws and
there isn't much this airplane can't do. Switch to full 3-D surface throws and watch your CAP go extreme! It's about as much
fun as you can stand. Ground handling is superb and we'll bet you have never made better, more precise landings than you can
with the CAP 231EX!
The kit features are equally impressive. The fuselage, wings, stab, elevators, fin, rudder, and all other components are beautifully
built and skillfully pre-covered. The huge cowl and sleek wheel pants are precision molded in fiberglass and pre-painted. The
removable canopy base and the scale tail fairing are both molded in plastic and factory painted. The hardware included in SIG's
new CAP 231EX ARF is primarily U.S.-made. No additional trips to your hobby shop are required as everything is included.
Beautiful looks, incredible flight characteristics, and just about the most complete ARF kit on the market, make the new SIG
CAP 231EX ARF truly hard to cap!

SIG FOUR-STAR 40 KIT
You've done great with your first trainer and you still have a perfectly good .40 size engine and 4 channel radio. Now is the time
to step up and start having some real fun. SIG's Four-Star 40 has been the "second airplane" of choice for thousands of modelers
since its introduction in 1989. With its low semi-symmetrical wing and light wing loading, the Four-Star 40 takes you to the next
level, with all the free-style aerobatics and whoop-dee-doos your thumbs can conjure up.
When developing the FOUR-STAR 40, there were two main design goals. First, of course, was impeccable flight performance in
the tradition of all SIG kits. Second, it had to be ultra-simple to build without looking like a "box with wings". The FOUR-STAR
40 shines in both respects! Give it a try - we think you'll give this kit a "four star" rating!

SIG HOG BIPE KIT
Since 1957, thousands of modelers have been delighted with the slow flying, yet fully aerobatic, flight performance of the
original ASTRO-HOG. As the old saying goes, "NOTHING FLIES LIKE A HOG!". Well, now you can have the same easy flying
aerobatic performance in a sport biplane design - the SIG HOG-BIPE. Just like the ASTRO-HOG, the HOG-BIPE performs any
maneuver in the book, yet flies slow enough to let you enjoy it. This is barnstorming at its best!
The HOG-BIPE kit is fast building and easy to assemble. Computer accurate parts that fit together perfectly make it easy for the
average builder to successfully assemble an accurate, straight flying biplane. The large photo-illustrated instruction book takes
you through every step of the assembly.

SIG SEALANE FLOAT PLANE KIT
Taxi gently away from the dock and head for open water. Increase power and watch the water spray behind you as the hull lifts
smoothly off the water. Gentle, graceful, responsively solid. Then turn-it-on; loops, rolls, even inverted flight! You would never
think this was a seaplane. Settle back for a smooth touchdown into the sunset and taxi back to the dock with solid, positive
control, even in crosswinds. The Sealane features a strong one-piece removable wing allowing easy access to all your radio gear.
The high mounted forward facing engine pylon keeps your engine high and dry. While the Sealane is no landlubber, SIG
includes instructions for optional installation of a fixed gear and tail dragger landing gear. Simply add the main and tail wheel
assemblies (not included), detach the tip floats and burn up the skies at your local flying field. The Sealane is the perfect choice
for your first-time seaplane. The Sealane builds quickly with precision laser cut wood parts; full size rolled plans and illustrated

SIG ULTIMATE BI-PLANE KIT
The SIG Ultimate fun fly was modeled after one of the most recognized biplanes on the air show circuit today, the Ultimate 10-
300. This biplane has captured the imagination of many modelers with its distinctive looks and outstanding flight performance.
Following in the footsteps of the popular SIG Fazer, the Ultimate fun fly is an easy to build all wood design with a profile
fuselage and traditional build-up balsa wings. The flight performance of the Ultimate is AWESOME! Super tight loops, lightning
fast rolls, flat spins, knife edge flight and hovering are just a few of the maneuvers that this model can perform.
The CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) drawn plans, computer generated tooling and laser cut parts ensures the modeler that all
the parts will fit precisely the way they were intended. The laser cutter has allowed us to design the parts in this model to
greatly simplify its construction. One other benefit of the laser cutter is that all the critical alignment holes in the cabane and
interplane struts are pre-cut allowing the wings to be set at their proper incidences during construction

SIG KOUGAR MARK II KIT
If you are looking for an R/C model that is easy to build and exciting to fly, the KOUGAR is for you! This sleek jet-style airplane
has a fully symmetrical wing section for smooth pattern-like aerobatics. The KOUGAR will do every stunt in the book, yet it is
not difficult for low-time pilots to handle. Ample wing area and a thick airfoil provide outstanding slow speed stability. Built-in
wing "washout" eliminates tip stalling, enabling the KOUGAR to be slowed down to a walk for realistic nose-high landings. The
KOUGAR is highly recommended as an introduction to low-wing flying and for beginning pattern competitors.
Don't let the KOUGAR'S racy lines worry you. Construction of this sport model is simple and straightforward. The load-carrying
and equipment-carrying portion of the fuselage is basic balsa box structure. Once that is built, you add a molded plastic fuselage
top, a molded clear plastic canopy, and a molded plastic cowling, to give the KOUGAR its modern jet-style shaped. The wings
R/C Aircraft KIT’s
are white foam core with 1/16 in. thick balsa sheeting. Tail surfaces are sheet balsa.
NOTES ON KOUGAR COLOR SCHEMES:
Since the Kougar is a sport model, not a scale model, no scale decals are included in the kit. However after numerous requests,
SIG does have available several decal sheets that make it easy for you to decorate your Kougar to look like the world famous U.S.
Air Force Thunderbirds. You can duplicate either the early period silver Thunderbird scheme, or the white "team number" color
scheme that the Thunderbirds use today.

SIG 1/4 SCALE PIPER J-3 KIT
A 1/4-SCALE R/C MODEL OF AMERICA'S FAVORITE LIGHT PLANE
The yellow Piper J-3 Cub is one of aviation's genuine classics. There was a time when the general public thought that every
airplane flying was either a DC-3 or a Piper Cub. More than 20,000 Cubs were built between 1937 - 1947, and for years after
that, it was the most commonly seen airplane at airports all over the country. Forgiving flight characteristics, light wing loading,
and hands-off stability made it perfect for America's weekend pilots. The Cub design is ideal for R/C flying and makes an
excellent first-time 1/4-scale project.
EASY TO TRANSPORT TWO-PIECE WING DESIGN
The center-section comes off the fuselage when the wing panels are removed, allowing complete access to the radio gear and
fuel tank through the open top of the cabin.

SIG SMITH MINIPLANE KIT
Historically, the SMITH MINIPLANE is one of the designs that helped start the modern homebuilding era. Originally designed
and built in 1957 by Frank Smith of Fullerton, California, the MINIPLANE was an early example of engineering with the amateur
homebuilder and weekend pilot in mind. It could be constructed with tools easily within reach of the average craftsman, and in
the air, it was stable and easy to fly. The top wing spanned 17 ft., and the empty weight was a mere 600 pounds.
Powered by a 100hp Lycoming, the tiny MINIPLANE cruised at 120 mph, climbed at a fantastic 2,500 ft. per minute, and was
highly aerobatic. It was just what many sportsman pilots were looking for!
In 1974, Glen Sigafoose, then President of Sig Mfg. Co., acquired a complete SMITH MINIPLANE to use for aerobatic practice.
Glen's beautiful red, white, and black aircraft was the inspiration for this mini version of the MINIPLANE.

modelers have converted these to small flying radio controlled aircraft. Instructions are not included for converting these
airplanes to radio controlled aircraft. But it is a natural project for the experienced modeler because the stable flight
characteristics associated to free flight models make good Slow and Park Flyer aircraft. Typically, only rudder, elevator and

SIG Foam Rubber
SOFT NATURAL FOAM RUBBER FOR PROTECTING COSTLY R/C EQUIPMENT
Genuine latex FOAM RUBBER is the best material available to protect the delicate radio equipment inside your R/C models.
Loosely wrapped around the receiver and battery pack, FOAM RUBBER can keep harmful engine vibrations from causing a
serious radio "glitch". Also helps protect the receiver and battery
from shock damage in the event of a crash. Model boats need it
to prevent the constant pounding of the water against the hull
from causing trouble. Soft, shock absorbent, and lightweight.
There is absolutely no substitute for genuine FOAM RUBBER in
protecting on-board radio gear. Highly recommended by all
leading radio manufacturers.
In addition to R/C installations, FOAM RUBBER can also be used
for many other types of craft/hobby work. Ideal for extra padding
in chair and sofa cushions, making new pads for playpen and crib
railings, or shock mounting fragile craft projects. Can be glued
with ordinary wood/paper glues, contact cement or epoxy. Clean,
odorless, moth and mildew proof.

Engines
Aviastar® 2 stroke Glow Engines
Modern design combined with state of the art computer-driven machinery and superior metallurgy
to create the finest 2 stroke model airplane engines.
For instance, the connecting rods use the same aluminum alloy as found in some full size aircraft engines.
Crankshafts are one piece hardened steel. A specially developed "KK" bronze alloy is used for the con rod bushing
which allows it to withstand high RPMs. Cylinders are made of a special heat treated steel alloy to insure a hard and true
cylinder that will not distort at high temperatures. Piston rings (1.2 - 2.0 sizes) are made of the same steel alloy as found in
some racing motorcycles. The smaller Aviastar engines (.46 - .53) are of true ABC construction and include an expansion
chamber muffler. All engines contain high quality dual ball bearings.
Of course, the carburetors are of a twin needle design for the best balance between power and fuel consumption. O-rings
are used at all critical points to eliminate any possible air leakage. There's no lapse of power throughout the throttle
transition making this a popular choice for aerobatic flying.
Mufflers not included with large scale Aviastar engines (1.2 - 2.0).

Since the turn of the century, castor oil has been used as a lubricant for many
different types of internal-combustion engines. Whenever high-heat protection was
needed in hard running aircraft, motorcycle, and marine applications, castor oil was
the chosen lubricant because of its ability to withstand high temperatures without
breaking down. Naturally, those are the same reasons that castor oil was the
traditional lubricant for our model engines for many years. In today's world, with the
availability of good quality synthetic lubricants, like Klotz oil, most modelers now use
fuel with a blend of castor and synthetic oils, like our regular line of SIG CHAMPION
FUEL. This provides a compromise between castor oil's unquestioned high-heat
protection and the cleaner burning characteristics of synthetic oil. Nonetheless, some
modelers still prefer an ALL-CASTOR OIL based fuel for some situations.
104 www.sigmfg.com
Sig Champion 25% All Castor Fuel
Contains 25% total Castor Oil. Excellent for engines with a bushed main bearing and a lapped piston (like the classic Fox 35
Stunt C/L engine). The additional castor oil delivers the best performance in this type of engine. Also a good break-in fuel for
any new 2-cycle glow engine. The extra castor oil helps dissipate heat, allowing the engine to run cooler during this critical time
when the internal parts are seating together.

Sig Syn Plus Fuel
New all synthetic lubricant fuel for 2-Stroke model airplane engines gives
you the PLUS you can't get with any other fuel! Many modelers prefer
using pure synthetic lubricants in their 2-stroke model airplane engines for
its clean burning attributes. Unfortunately, using pure synthetics tend to
offer less high heat protection than castor oil blends and can cause
premature internal wear and loss of power. SYN PLUS from SIG conquers
the heat devil. Only SYN PLUS contains SG-7., a special fuel additive
proven to reduce the heat normally associated with other blends of fuel.
Testing confirmed a reduction in head temperatures when using SYN
PLUS compared to traditional all synthetic lubricant fuels. Less heat
means longer engine life and smoother runs. Beat the heat! Pick up SYN
PLUS at your local Hobby dealer.

Fuelers, Fuel lines and Fuel Tanks
Sig Flight Line Fuelers
Handy for filling tanks and priming engines.
FOR GLOW FUEL ONLY NOT FOR GASOLINE
These super tough syringes are extremely handy for a multitude of
tasks at the flight line. Perfect for priming engines and filling small fuel
tanks. The graduated scale on the side allows accurate measurement
of the exact amount of fuel needed. Markings are in both metric and
standard fluid ounces. Especially good for C/L combat flying or
outdoor F/F, where a precise injection of fuel into a pacifier or bladder
is required. Also great for drawing the last little bit of leftover fuel from
the tank after flying. These heavy-duty plastic syringes are quick and
easy to use! Comes with a piece of SIG heat-proof silicone fuel tubing
for quick-connecting to the tank. After you put one of these in your
fight box, you'll find yourself using it over and over again.

KAVAN Fuel Tanks
Special manufacturing process eliminates the possibility of thin spots in the
tank wall; durable enough even for pressurized fuel systems. A brass ring
around the neck eliminates the "split neck" common in some tanks using an
expansion stopper. The rectangular shape optimizes capacity and prevents
fuel starvation associated to the tank rotating and cutting off the fuel supply.
A nut behind the rear nylon disc eliminates the possibility of a stripped
thread that could result in a fuel leak. The heavy metal fuel pickup ensures
constant fuel flow during any maneuver. Six molded channels in the tank
sides (except KAV0031B) provide for easy routing of the throttle pushrod.
Includes pre-bent brass tubing for quick assembly. Use with either glow fuel
or gasoline (except KAV0031B is for glow fuel only). For gasoline use, order

Akula Lithium-Polymer Batteries - 20C
Lithium-Polymer batteries or short "Li-Po" batteries, offer higher energy density
than comparable Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. Typically Li-Po batteries deliver at
least twice the capacity at half of the weight of Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. This
makes your model lighter giving you increased performance and flight time.
Akula SUPER HRD packs are assembled using select and then matched cells
for optimum power and safety. They can discharge at up to 20C and each pack
is equipped with Balancerboard Connectors.
Using a Balancerboard Module (Order Nos. QTM12040 - 12042) each cell in the
pack will charge at the same voltage. This system provides increased safety for
you and increased performance and life for your battery pack.

A "normal" (for Ni-Cd/Ni-MH packs) speed control should not be used with Li-Po
cells because of the different cut off voltages. If you want to use a "normal"
speed control with Li-Po packs then add a Li-Po Safer to your speed control.
Simply solder or connect the Li-Po Safer module in parallel between your battery
and speed control, choose the control voltage and Li-Po Safer will warn you with
a buzzer or bright light when the pack's voltage goes under the control voltage.
This does not provide automatic cut off. The LED version is recommended only
for indoor flying.

AeroKote® is a premium polyester covering material specially produced for flying model
airplanes. It is easy to apply, and with its revolutionary adhesive system, resists wrinkling
and maintains its position long after application.
AeroKote-Lite® is the premium polyester covering material perfect for small, lightweight flying
model airplanes. Using lower heat levels than other films, there is less chance to have
covering induced warps in lighter built structures. Due to the lower temperature ranges,
AeroKote-Lite® is perfect for many small, foam airplanes. We suggest you try AeroKote-Lite®
on a scrap piece of material first before covering the model parts.
The opacity of AeroKote® and AeroKote-Lite® is superior to other films due to its unique
coating system. Mineral stains, ink and pencil marks - all disappear under AeroKote® and
AeroKote-Lite®.
The AeroKote® adhesive is glow fuel resistant; making those un-seemly seams a thing of the
past. And since both materials are true polyester films, you can be assured of high strength
and excellent shrinking properties for wingtips and other compound curves.

appearance of an expertly painted gloss finish that
looks great on any model airplane. Note: The color

to the limitations of the printing process. We highly
recommend you visit your local hobby retailer to

THE BEST MODELS USE THE BEST COVERING
The covering of choice by many master builders and scale competitors especially when the real airplane being modeled used
fabric covering. Nothing gives a realistic fabric finish like real fabric - Sig Koverall. Bob Wischer who won first place honors in
Giant Scale at the 1984 Reno Nats chose Koverall for his beautiful Aeronca K. Bob says: "It's tough material. A dent from impact
can be removed, even after doping, with a bit of heat from a sealing iron set on low temperature. With silk, the dent would have
been a hole, and a patch."
Dick Graham was an early user of Koverall and used it on his 1980 National Champion Piper Pawnee. Dick says: "Koverall
produced excellent results on my 1/4-scale Pawnee. It is easy to apply, shrinks as required for uniform tightness, and the close
weave takes dope without leaking through onto the inside."

WEIGHS 1.25 OZ. PER SQ. YD.
Koverall is a cloth covering of the type used on full-scale aircraft, but in a lighter
weight (1-1/4 oz. per sq. yd.) for models. Koverall can be used on almost all R/C
models large or small. Its superior strength and low price has made Koverall a
real favorite with builders of giant size models. It's the most economical cloth
covering you can buy!
Sig Koverall is an uncoated, heat shrinkable plain fabric. It has no glue on it. To
adhere Koverall to a model, you can either dope it on ala the traditional silk-and-
dope method, or better yet, use Sig Stix-It heat activated covering adhesive. Just
brush a coat of Stix-It on the model framework, let it dry, then iron-on the
Koverall just like you would a much more expensive iron-on fabric covering. Once
the Koverall is stuck down around the edges, it can be shrunk perfectly tight
with an iron or heat gun. Seal the Koverall with 1 - 2 coats of Sig Nitrate Clear

Sig Supercoat Dope
Cellulose acetate butyrate dope is a paint that was developed many years ago for use on full-scale airplanes. It is a lightweight,
fast drying, lacquer-related formulation. Ever since its first introduction, butyrate dope has been a favorite with model airplane
builders due to its many unique properties.
Butyrate dope is excellent for finishing any type of wooden model airplane, especially when used in conjunction with an
uncoated cloth or paper covering like SIG Koverall, Silk, Silkspan, or Plyspan Tissue. It has the ability to shrink these coverings
drum tight and provide a fuel proof finish. Butyrate dope is very flexible, making it the very best paint to use on a model that
has open areas in its structure where the covering is unsupported. It will not crack or split from vibration or flexing.
SIG Supercoat Dope is available in brilliant high-gloss colors and clear. The Supercoat clear dope is a high-shrink formulation,
intended for initial wood surface preparation and for the coating of covering materials that must be sealed and shrunk prior to
applying color dope. The Supercoat color dopes are mixed in a special low-shrink base to help minimize warping. All Sig
Supercoat dopes can be brushed or sprayed on with good results.

NON-GLOSSY CLEAR BUTYRATE DOPE
! FUEL PROOF

! LOW SHRINK
Flat-Coat is a non-glossy version of Lite-Coat low-shrink dope. It's recommended
as a final topcoat on models that need a realistically dull, military type finish.
Simply paint your model as usual with standard high-gloss Supercoat color
dope, then spray Flat-Coat over all the color areas that should be non-glossy.
Ideal for painting WWII models, anti-glare panels, wheel wells, scale pilots,
instrument panels, scale props, etc. Our tests show that Flat-Coat produces a
more realistic dull finish at less cost than buying separate flat colors. Flat-Coat
is completely compatible with all other SIG butyrate dope products.

Sig Nitrate Dope - Clear
NOTE: Nitrate Dope is not fuel proof by itself. On gas or glow powered models, it should be used for initial surface preparation
and covering attachment only, and then top coated with a fuel proof paint such as epoxy, enamel, or butyrate dope. CAUTION:
Butyrate dope can be put over Nitrate dope, but Nitrate dope cannot be applied over butyrate. SIG Nitrate Dope can be thinned
with Sig Dope Thinner or Retarder.
Nitrate clear dope is primarily intended to prepare model surfaces for a painted finish. Nitrate
acts as a sealer for bare wood and uncoated covering materials, and its application establishes a
well bonded base for most commonly used model paints. Fast drying. High gloss. Often preferred
over butyrate dope in many modeling applications because of its unique chemical characteristics.
CHECK THESE ADVANTAGES:
! Better adhesion to most structures and coverings than butyrate dope
! Controlled shrinkage - Nitrate dope shrinks only a moderate amount compared to butyrate.
Helps eliminate warps and dope "blisters" at sharp 90 deg corners
! Higher solid content than butyrate dope for faster filling
! Compatible with most model paints - Nitrate dope is often used to seal the bare model
surfaces and provides a good base for finishing with butyrate dope, enamel, or epoxy paints
! Ideal for use alone on light free-flight rubber models where fuel proofing is not necessary.

completely unravel in your hands, then you'll appreciate this glass cloth tape. This is the
same high-grade fiberglass material as our regular Sig Glass Cloth; only this glass cloth
tape has a finished edge on each side to eliminate those unraveling problems. Much
easier to use! Ideal for reinforcing a wing center section, firewall installation, or any other
areas that require additional strength. Use either Sig Epoxy Glue or Glass Resin to apply.
Chemically treated to enhance glue/resin adhesion. Available in two handy widths. Both
sizes of glass cloth tape are .003 thick and weigh 1.5 oz. per sq. yd. - just like our regular
weight Glass Cloth.

Sig CA Adhesives
2 YEAR SHELF LIFE - GUARANTEED!
Sig CA glue is a high-purity cyanoacrylate (pronounced "sigh-ano-ack'-relate") adhesive specially formulated to meet the tough
demands of building and flying model airplanes. Sig CA is available in different viscosities. Each viscosity has different
application and cure characteristics.
SIG CA THIN is thin as water and cures very fast, normally in 1-3 seconds. Thin CA is used to glue together parts that fit tightly
together with no gaps, and that do not require repositioning after the glue is applied. Typically, the two parts are mated first,
and then Thin CA is flowed along the joint. Capillary action wicks the Thin CA deep into the joint, resulting in a very strong
bond. Thin CA sets very rapidly; so do not expect to move parts at all after the glue is applied. Thin CA is ideal for tack gluing
assemblies together quickly on the building board (later the joints should be re-glued with Medium CA). Also good for repairs
where you have a lot of cracks or torn wood fibers to be glued together. The Thin CA wicks into every nook and cranny of the
break and ties the fibers together almost like new. Thin CA is the only glue that should be used with Sig Easy Hinges.
SIG CA MEDIUM is medium viscosity and normally cures in about 5-15 seconds. Medium CA is the general purpose favorite,
excellent for almost any step during construction. Many people use it for the majority of their construction. Can be used on less
than perfect joints, filling in the minor gaps between the parts. Medium CA can be flowed into an already assembled joint (ala
Thin CA), or it can be used more like a traditional glue by applying it to one part before it's mated to the other part. Also good
for re-gluing joints that have been tack glued with Thin CA.
SIG CA THICK has a thick, syrupy viscosity and a slow setting time, normally curing in 30-90 seconds. Typically, Thick CA is
applied to one part before mating to the other part. Longer cure time allows you a few seconds to position the part before the
Thick CA "goes off". Cure can be quickened with the use of "accelerator" once the part is positioned. The thick consistency
reduces the tendency to run and fills gaps between parts. Ideal for gluing large parts like wing sheeting and fuselage doublers.
Can also be used to build up strong fillets around joints requiring extra strength.
SIG CA GEL is ideal for use on vertical surfaces that are hard to reach such as mounting rails deep inside a fuselage. Apply CA
Gel to the part (the thick consistency of the CA Gel keeps it from running off), and install the part where needed.

SIG ODORLESS CA - Some people may experience allergic reactions when exposed to fumes from cyanoacrylate glue. And
although every model workshop should have proper ventilation, sometimes, CA fumes get carried to other parts of the house
where others might object to it's distinctive odor. For these folks, Sig also offers Odorless CA. Same glue strength - same cure
times but in a formulation is often better tolerated by those with CA allergies and without the odor.
NOTE: Unlike regular CA, Odorless CA can also be used on foam parts. Perfect for Park Flyers and other foam models. (There are
many types of foam with different chemical characteristics so please test Odorless CA on a piece of scrap before attempting to
glue your foam model).

SIG KWIK-SHOT CA Accelerator
While CA glues are faster drying than any other type of modeling glue, there
are still times when we wish we could make it dry "on command". That's
where CA accelerator comes in! It's a special liquid that comes in a small
spray bottle that makes any type of CA glue set instantly on contact! CA
accelerator is sprayed onto the joint after the glue is applied and after the
part is in final position. The accelerator chemically reacts with the glue
causing it to set immediately. Use sparingly! Too much can cause CA glue to
react too rapidly resulting in a weaker joint.

A special chemical that softens and loosens dried CA glue so you can un-

Debonder to the area and wait for the glue to soften. Don't rush it! It may
take 20 to 30 seconds of soaking to get your fingers back apart. For a thick
buildup of glue, you may need several applications of Debonder to remove
it all.

Sig Core-Bond
A CONTACT TYPE CEMENT FOR BONDING WOOD OR PLASTIC TO FOAM
OUR FIRST CHOICE RECOMMENDATION FOR SHEETING FOAM WING CORES
Important Note:
Core-Bond is damaged by freezing. We cannot ship during cold weather. Order an
adequate supply in advance.
Core-Bond is a special water-base adhesive for bonding any type of wing skin to a foam
wing core. Core-Bond works equally well with balsa wood, plywood, or plastic wing
skins. It's the best choice for beginners at foam wing covering because it is so easy
and safe to use. Will not melt foam when used as directed. Experts like Core-Bond's
relatively fast drying time and lightweight. It has a unique viscosity that keeps
absorption into the foam and balsa to an absolute minimum, resulting in the lightest
bond possible, without sacrificing strength. Tests prove that the strength of the bond
will exceed the strength of the balsa material. Core-Bond can be applied with a brush,
roller, or spatula.

Sig Balldrivers
BETTER THAN AN ALLEN WRENCH • available in standard and metric sizes.
The ultimate tool for socket head bolts and wheel collars.
1. Angle entry permits easy access even in restricted or hard to reach areas. Off-axis rotation speeds up fastener application or
removal. Fasteners can be driven or loosened at angles up to 25 deg.
2. Fast funnel entry allows Balldriver tools to slide easily into socket and achieve full socket engagement with a single snap-in
motion. No more wasted time feeling the tool into the socket.
3. Positive full depth engagement of Balldriver tools overcome
most stripping problems. It is generally impossible to determine
whether a standard tool is fully engaged in the socket. When it
is not, stripping problems often occur.
4. Faster insertion and removal because tool follows natural wrist
and hand rotation. Balldriver tools will turn a full 360 degrees in
locations where standard hex-tools cannot, thus saving valuable
time.

Hello, my name is W. Iwanczyk, and I just completed and flew the Extra 300XS. I have
Customer Comments
been in this hobby for a long time, and these days am mostly into turbine jets and scale
helicopters. Having seen what the products and quality are across the entire See page 23
spectrum of RC aviation products, I can say that this Extra from Sig is the best
quality propeller ARF plane I have ever seen! I had mine assembled and flight
ready in under 5 hours with a Zenoah G-45 engine. The plane is a joy to fly. There is
absolutely nothing left to be desired on your planes.
W. Iwanczyk- February 28, 2005
I am building a Kadet LT-25. The engineering is outstanding. The fit of parts is outstand-
ing. You seem to have thought of and did something about all of the ”hang-ups” a
builder would encounter. I think you outdid yourself! Thank you.
W. Behymer- September 09, 2006

Just wanted to let you know that I just learned to fly on your LT-40 ARF and
I have loved every minute of it. I am now getting ready to build a Four-Star 40
and plan on getting a Four-Star 60 ARF for Xmas. Thank you again and keep
up the good work.

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you all know what I think of your products. I
recently purchase the Herr Cherokee 1/2A from the local hobby shop. I have built several
kits prior to the purchase of the Cherokee and just wish to express my thanks for making
such a high quality kit. The fit of the parts is precise and excellent, quality of the laser
cutting is outstanding and the instructions and prints are clear and concise. There are no
questions as to how an assembly goes together, and quality of the wood is excellent. I am
completely tickled at what an outstanding kit this is! ... in addition I’ll certainly choose to
purchase a Herr kit again. My thanks to all who are involved in the process from the
bottom to the top. Their hard work is certainly evident in the quality of the product.
See page 58 J. Noetzelmann- September 03, 2006
I just thought that I would write to you and let you know how pleased I
am with your Antoinette and Demoiselle RC kits. I have been building
airplanes since the 1970’s and these two are the first that I have ever been able
to fly successfully! They have to be the best engineered and easiest to put together
aircraft that anyone has ever seen. I’m sure that you get lots of mail when things go
wrong. Well, here is one that says you are doing some really great things and you have
enriched my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. See page 57

I just finished the (Rascal) 110 today. As per my expectations the kit was excellent
and a pleasure to assemble. As soon as this cold front passes through I plan on
taking it to the field and trying it out. I can’t wait to see her turn on final; then
wings level glide to a perfect three point on the runway. Thanks for a great
design Scott.
Best Regards, M. Robinson- April 23, 2005
I would like to take a few minutes of your time, to tell you what an
excellent kit of the 1/5 scale Piper J-3 Cub you have. I have never
built such a true and square plane as I have with your laser cut kit. This was
the first laser kit I ever assembled, and all the parts fit like a glove. It was simple
to understand the construction, just truly a pleasure to build. I have not flown it
yet, but I know it will fly as good as it looks. You have opened a new chapter of my
model building with this kit. In the past, I have always had a difficult time aligning the
fuselage sides length wise and top to bottom. It seems like with your kit, you would have to
deliberately try to misalign them to not have them come out square. There is no other Cub kit on
See page 53
the market that comes close to the design, scale appearance and quality of your 1/5 J-3 Cub….
