The only thing I build or fly anymore is WWI. It's the only thing I care to build or fly. If I couldn't build and fly WWI aircraft (or thereabouts) I'd probably leave RC flying. That may seem rather extreme, but I'm really in it for the aircraft not the flying. I've had a lot of non-WWI ARFs (because there aren't many WWI ARFs) and they taught me a lot about RC flying. And I've had a Cub ARF and it was great fun. But I always had the feeling that I was just wasting my time by not flying the models I really wanted to fly.

It's not that I'm some hot-shot pilot who's "too good" for more basic models. I'm not. But I do know what I like and am not willing to work my way "up" through several different electric systems. In fact, I don't intend to have more than one single electric model. When that one "dies" I'll want to pull the gear on that and stick in the next electric model.
