But just dont fly the SPAD and expect to become some great 3D pilot.
I would agree with this, sure. But I would also say it makes an excellent FIRST 3D experience, for all of it benefits that have been gone over so many times. Besides, not all of us want to be Jason Shulman. Some of us just want to have fun, and a Spa3d is or isn't many things, but it IS a fun bugger to fly.
