dus10lee,

I learned to fly, on a balsa trainer. Once I soloed, I built my first spad (Debonair) in a long afternoon. Spads are so easy to build and go together so quick. I guess the reason I like them so much is the instant gradification you get when building them, not to mention they are tuff as nails.

I have built and flown several Spad's from plans as well as ones I have designed myself. Once you go plastic (coroplast), it's hard to go back to balsa. I have found that the more spads I build the more creative I get with the next one on the building table. I'm currently designing and building a Spad pattern plane ("ML Spattern" in the spad forum).
