Like everyone else on this board I morned the loss of Top Flite, Great Planes kits. As you may know the a while back the CEO of Horizon died and on reading up on him I think I got an understanding why Horizon never got the importance of building to keep our hobby going. The late CEO of Horizon was an R/C Car and Truck enthusiast. He had the mind set of of a car/truck guy. You break it you replace it. You only fix what is quick and easy to get back in the race or go to the next vehicle. Everything is throw away. A Car/Truck doesn't build from the ground up he buys pre-built and may or may not add better suspension and steering parts. Horizon treats airplanes the same as cars/truck. Buy it, break, go on the the next one. Any way that is my take away from what I read.
