Not a new question, I have seen it asked several times along with where have all the kits gone. 2014 was the first year I can remember not doing some sort of build thread other then in the Up-Roar thread started by Rick Stubbs. The Up-Roar is one of the few cheap kits still around other then Sig kits. There were a lot of lookers in the Roar thread but no posters. I didn't buy the kit, I just built from the plans but there still wasn't any activity on the thread.
In the next week or so I will be making templates and cutting a couple kits for the Bridi Dirty Birdy, I even cut my wood from planks. The plane was ARFed a couple years back so even if I did a build thread I doubt anyone would bother following it.
The kit is also available from Blue Jay but I know sales have been way down and I wonder how long Blue Jay will keep cutting them. There kits follow the original Bridi kits and are priced really well.
There are still a couple of builders left in my club but very few of us. I no longer design my own but buy plans. I find building a lot more fun then just flying. Of course I have been doing it sense 1956 so it's second nature to me. I was teaching building but students would build one plane then go right to the ARF because it's simpler.
