2 FHHuber: Thanks, FHHuber, this is a great link. I really appreciate this.
What others are thinking about the plastic schematics compared to traditional ones?
(No offence, FHHuber, I just would like to hear more opinions.) If there are no serious
complications with plastics, I will probably go with it. It looks so simple!
Gena.
I think you'll find the SPAD proponents are perhaps overly enthusiastic about the designs. If you can afford a kit plane, or want to build, you would do well to build a kit or from plans. SPAD building will not contribute to your balsa building skills. I personally have not seen a SPAD of any type fly well, but SPAD proponents claim they fly well.
Of course, if you cannot afford a kit, a SPAD would probably reduce your cost. I still recommend a good flying trainer like the LT 40, PT 40, RCM trainer, Solo Sport or Aerostar.
Good Luck,
Dave Olson
