Here's mine - I admit it needs a little work in that pic, but I'm happy with it, which is all that matters.

I love to build also, but I wouldn't bash anyone who loves to build, that's their affliction-consider the source.

The fact is SPADS / BALSA are no better than another. And in fact, I haven't read that very much, except coming back in the form of a retort or a toungue in cheek remark. SPADS are much more forgiving however in most cases in the unlikely event of a crash-which, if you fly enough, IS going to happen.

To the originator of the thread, you'll have to choose. A balsa plane is your most likely recourse, since they're so widely available and supported. If you feel like being a SPADoholic, you're always welcome to join us-so is anyone else..
