The SIG Kadet Senior

The SIG Kadet Senior, from http://www.sigmfg.com/IndexText/SIGRC58ARFB.html

The SIG Kadet Senior has a huge 2m wingspan. The wing has a large surface area, allowing this plane to carry a payload such as a camera.

With its remarkably light wing loading, you can transform the Senior into a flying platform for still or video cameras, lighting systems, parachute drops or glider tows without fear of overload.

With its combination of large control surfaces and a high power-to-weight ratio, flying the Senior is a dream.

Like all SIG ARFs, the Kadet Senior ARF is 90% assembled, using only the finest material, then expertly covered with premium Oracover(r) polyester film. A complete hardware package including top quality nylon and metal parts is included as well as an 8-ounce fuel tank and wheels. A fully illustrated, comprehensive assembly manual takes you from box to field in a few, short hours.

The SIG Manufacturing Company Rascal 110

from http://www.sigmfg.com/IndexText/SIGRC84ARFB.html

The new SIG Rascal 110 ARF kit offers you one of the largest, easiest to fly R/C model airplanes ever. The quality of this product is second to none and will likely become the new standard for all other manufacturers to follow. The Rascal 110 ARF is a true " giant-scale" , IMAA-size sport model that provides outstanding flying characteristics, using a wide range of engines, including two and four-stroke glow engines, as well as smaller gas engines.

from http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?& I=SIGA6200

The design follows the extremely popular SIG Rascal kit, the Rascal ARF and the newer Rascal Forty ARF. The scale-like lines are decidedly from the " Golden Age" of aviation, making the airplane so realistic in appearance, it could be easily mistaken for a full-scale aircraft out of the thirties or post-WWII era.

The Rascal 110 ARF is the perfect aircraft for onboard video or camera work. Properly powered, it would make a great glider tug and using off-the-shelf lighting systems it makes a great R/C night flyer.
