RE: The new MAN
Back in "the good old days" we did a LOT of building, before ARF's, laser cut parts and multi page instruction books ... with pictures no less!
Plan contained all the instructions you were going to get and surprisingly we did pretty well!
There are many buy and fly folks now, in '46 there were none.
Personally building is as much fun as flying. I probably have a hundred or so sets of plans to scratch build from.
