SIG Radio Control "Kwik-Bilt" Kits

 Discontinued kits shown in RED

NOTE: Clicking on most pics will bring them up, much enlarged, in another window.

It seems that I must put this statement on each page of the website.

I have NO affiliation

with

SIG Manufacturing Co.

 

I do not  have magical access to kits.  I do not  have a store that sells kits.

I do not  have access to, or sell kit parts.  I do not  create kits.

 

I do have a website that shows every kit SIG has ever put out.

 You are seeing it now.

Did you know?

(from e-mail by Steve Pohlmann) Paul-1 at Reno in 1979, being towed from the pits to the line for a race.

 

Steve Pohlmann (left) and Bud Judy (right).  Paul Poberezny (EAA President) climbing into the cockpit.

Bud Judy was the 1972 US Aerobatic Champion in the Intermediate category.

 

Steve was supposed to crew with his dad on the Miss America, but when he got to Reno, his dad asked if he would mind helping out a friend.  Turned out to be Paul (Poberezny).  Bud was his only crew, and Miss America had more than enough, so he helped out.  You never know how big a P-51 is until you wash and wax one with only 2 guys.

E-mail from Steve Pohlmann, 15Aug2018

 

I’ve attached a copy of the 1979 race results.  As you can see, “Paul I” qualified outside the fastest 21 cut-off line.  “Paul I” was a completely stock P-51 compared to many of the highly modified planes.  The photo I sent you was taken by Dad.  You can see both Bud and myself looking the same direction.  If I remember things correctly, we were told to get “Paul I” out to the line, which is what we were doing.  Then, I think, some official was waving us down – the moment Dad took the picture and we ended up going back to the ramp and never did get to actually race.

 

This was the year that Steve Hinton crashed “Red Baron”.  Dad and I were watching from the “Miss A” pits, just a few spots away from “Red Baron”.  It was such a foregone conclusion that he was going to win, that ABC’s Wide World of Sports had already set up next to their pits before the actual race.  Dad and I made a friendly “wager” and I actually picked John Crocker and “Sumthin’ Else”.  Adding to the results footnote, we could see coolant streaming from “Red Baron” starting about lap three.  It was one of those historical moments where thousands of people were totally silent, many of us fearing the worse.  Fortunately, he survived to race another day.

KBRC-7

AT-6 Texan

Designed by: Hank Pohlmann

There could have been another plane in the Kwik-Bilt series, the AT-6 Texan.

 

Hank Pohlmann built a prototype AT-6 for the Kwik-Bilt series, based on Charlie Beck's "Honest Entry" who he crewed for at Reno.  Steve Pohlmann crewed for the same plane in 1989.

 

Alas, the plane looked great but performance was lacking, and the project was shelved.
