I wasn't trying to put down anyone.
I'll take your word for it. I've edited my post.
Some day maybe they will have evolved enough out of the work of people like yourself to be attractive to me.
Visual attractiveness is not a primary goal of most Spad builders. In fact, there's a running joke on the Spad forum about "stickers", the point of which is to chide Spadders to do at least the very minimum in terms of visual appeal. The primary goals of spadders are: Fun to fly, simple, easy to build, quick to build, low cost and common materials, crash survival.
I don't mean this as a put down in any way, but it's more likely that you will come to see the Spad goals as valuable than it is for Spads to evolve into something visually attractive. Most people come into Spads for two reasons, either they just don't have the money for a wood trainer, or they want to expand their flying skills without risking the time and money cost of wood airplanes.
