I've personally seen 5 Bravos, plus 6-10 on the net. I have a hard time believing that there were only 30 kits, total.

This isn't the first time I've heard this, however.

I'll ask Sig, next year, at the Toledo Show.

I should have more pic's up tonight. I did a lot of ''re-gluing" stringers, and some reinforcing, I'm going to add new wing blocks and new front wing mounts. after I get all that in, I'm going to splatter paint the inside. All new sheeting will go on this weekend.

Sorry My statement was wrong. I called SIG and they told me, there was well over 2000 kits made. you are correct sir.

It's not a matter of being correct. I was confused, as this is a persistant rumor.

I had seen far too many of these wonderful birds to believe that so few were sold.

Did some repairs on the wing. she need's a little model magic to fill the cracks. you can see where I reinforced the fuselage. it was pretty weak. the wingtip was full of leftover monokote. working on that now.
