Sig has not manufactured a kit in over a year. Their site says theyre still in business and moving though they have not reported a business update in over a year. This all points to one thing. No more Sig Kits. As sad as that is, it is becoming increasingly evident, with every passing day, that Sig is out of business. Sig Kits are on the verge of extinction so if you ever wanted a Sig Kobra, now is the time to buy one. Everyone sold is one less to buy. Don't wait!
This kit is in perfect order with all parts. Don't wait! They'll only get more and more expensive. Until they're gone altogether.
IMO This is the best plane Sig ever made and I've absolutely loved flying mine! Even harder to find today is the Kobra bigger sisters (.40 size) Kougar II and (.60 size) King Kobra. All three are absolutely classics and a gem to fly.
Description on Model from the SIG website:
Are you having trouble shoe-horning a big model into a small car or small apartment? The little Kobra provides "hot dog" performance in a compact, easy to transport size. All of the great flying characteristics of our popular Kougar and King Kobra have been reduced into this junior-size bundle of excitement. The same sleek jet-style look, the same wall-to-wall aerobatic capabilities, the same built-in wing washout for slow speed stability, the same easy-to-build balsa fuselage with the unique formed plastic top - only in a smaller package! The Kobra even penetrates the wind like a much bigger model and there is plenty of room inside for standard size radios.
