RE: Good news from Great Planes !!!
As building labor, and shipping costs around the world rise, there is no doubt the feasibility of selling kits should improve. Also, if the windmill energy projects peak or decline it could make the balsa supply cheaper and of a higher quality...
I think in the end the real question will be how much of society will have the romantic view of aviation that keeps us in the sport hooked. and thats what sells airplanes..kits and arfs.
