BVMJETHEAD,

I guess that you found out as I did that you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. Through experience you and I have learned what works well and lasts. I don't fly BVM exclusively. There are several other planes that I like that BVM does not make.

What kills me is the people that complain how much BV's kits cost have never built one. I doubt that PR 38 or Bernie has ever built a BVM kit, so how can either know what they are talking about? One additional fact that has not been brought up is resale value---BV's completed models seem to be much higher in resale than other brands.

For some, no amount of convincing will change their minds toward BVM. Some people prefer to sheet their own wings, make their own servo trays, cut out their own parts, etc., etc. I have a few friends that are like that. They will trade their own time for money. I, like many others, prefer pre-sheeted wings, drop-in servo trays, pre-cut machined or laser cut parts, etc,. etc. I'm working on a kit as we speak that leaves a lot to the imagination of the modeler concerning the construction. You do get what you pay for.
