Sig King Kobra as a Pattern Plane??

[John Ferrell]

As I remember it, it was a lot better than any of the 40-60 arfs today.
The 40 size version was the Couger.
My King Kobra was powered by a Super Tiger 75 and was both heavy & fast.
The last time I looked in the catalog SIG still had it available.
