RE: Do scale kits have a future?
In reguards to future Scale builing , Hi , I am Billy Thompson , (Indiana Airworks ) Scale Building is the only way ! There is nothing like finding the perfect plane , sitting down , Drawing out every piece , and doing what it takes to make a Scale plane , I have glued my eye open , I have glued them shut , I have glued my , ( Minnie-Me ) to my leg . All resulting in unplanned trips to the Emergency Room ! Working feverishly to build 100 percent Scale airplanes . I have built 99.5 static airplanes for competition with numerous awards , and have flown with the worlds best TOP GUN Pilots finishing fourth place there my first time ! You ( I ) can not get that out a ARF Airplane . It is true , build times are getting longer and longer , But a true Scale builder will prevail over the Arf builders . Yes , there are not as many scale builders as there used to be , But there are alot of scale builders out here that do not make it in the publics eye ........ More than we know ! Yes I very strongly believe there is a future in Scale Building !
