Default RE: Is Building Comming Back?

With all the CAD design possibilities and laser cut wood, there could be some great kits. There should be brilliantly designed scale kits that a blind man with one arm could build.

A freind of mine writes novels. He started with the "print on demand " type publisher. You know, no warehouse full of books, just a program that spits out one book everytime someone orders it. Well, maybe it is time that somebody approached the kit business that way. You call up and order a Globe Swift, 60 size. He punches in some code and bingo, plans , instructions and cut wood for a one-off kit are produced. We are on the threshold of such technology, or maybe a little past it. So what has the 21st century ushered in ? Folks duct taping engines to sign board ! IT is like some post apocalyptic market place, exept for the ARF's. What is......is so far from what could be. So I buy scale kits on Ebay, the new Tower Hobbies of the 21 century. I have about 20 so far. The market place can do what it will, I have prepared. But seriously, does anybody know where I can get a 60 size Globe Swift ?????
Is Rich Urivich's Cessna 195 in kit form ? (hint, hint if your out there)
