to me its SIMPLE. I show up at the field with one of my kit or scratch design built models, its a matter of "Look At WHat I BUilt", not some else's in large quanities. its matter of personal PRIDE and probably a model of a plane that most of the fellows at the field have never seen or heard of. how it flys is sometning else. maybe it will fly more than once, its my baby. only one thing is better and thats SCRATCH Designed and Built. one thing I do know, the time I spend on RCU, is time awy from my design and building. not bad- but a fact that i have met more builders here on RCU than at the flying field. dick stamm
