| In 1969 Hazel Sig, then President of Sig Mfg. Co., rebuilt a standard 1941 Piper J-3 Cub for aerobatic flying. To improve the
airplane's aerobatic performance, 40in. was clipped off each wing panel, and the engine was reworked to produce 75hp instead of its normal 65hp. The entire framework of the Cub
was rebuilt and a dazzling sunburst paint job was applied with SIG Supercoat Dope. Over the years Hazel progressed to more powerful airplanes for her aerobatics, but none ever
captured the affections of modelers worldwide as has the Clipped Wing Cub. |

In the air the 1/4-scale version of Hazel's Cub is as smooth, stable, and responsive as the big one. Basic aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls,
spins, and snaps are easy.
"A beautiful model of a truly         special airplane!" |
