Quicker,

What I like about the SPAD is the survivability, cheap cost and quick assembly. I too want to get involved in the sport for fun and a SPAD seems to fit the bill in many ways.

I quite like building models too and for the purist in me, I'm going to have to build some from scratch. Whether I end up flying them or keep them for display will depend a lot of what they look like when I'm finished. lol So far, it seems that I'm able to do a great job putting these things together, but I don't do as good of a job with the covering.

I can dress them up but can't take them anywhere!
