RE: Question: "Model Aviation" /Dues
A sad short story about the state of modeling.
A few years ago I went to the local club field to test fly a new Quickie.
What’s that model?
Gave him a name.
Who makes it?
I did.
Is it an ARF?
No, I built it from scratch.
Who makes the kit?
I built it from scratch
What do you mean “scratch”?
I designed it, I cut the wood, I cut the foam, I bent the landing gear, I put it together.
Why? Can’t you just buy them?
Yes, but not this one.
Why bother with building when you can buy them?
Because I can, and because the design is better than ones you “buy”
Ugh?
