Except for the few real kits available, today's pattern planes are like instant gratification. Open a box slide the wings and stabs on their tubes and voila: pattern plane
And thanks flywilly at least I now know that one person has read my thread
And I really wish the Brushfire was one of the planes I kept from the 80's. I still have my 60 sized Atlanta but I would rather have the Brushfire for the occasional classic pattern event.
