Part of the problem with 'SPADS', is the plans are out there for anyone and everyone to build them. As simple as they are, some people just don't know how to build airplanes, or they are building a SPAD as their first plane, etc. I have read many a thread, bashing SPADS, calling them 'ugly' or 'too heavy'. While your plane may be a flying brick, it is possible to build a light, great looking airplane with coroplast.
