I cut my teeth building Guillow's and Comet stick and tissue rubber band airplanes about 35 years ago. I even had a few planes where the parts were simply printed onto the wood and you had to cut them out yourself. For me anything is better than that, even the diemashed Falcon 56 I built a few years ago!
But I gotta say, I just built my first laser cut kit and most of the parts just slid into place real nice. That was fun.
