Hey Bingo Flyer,

I'd like to know where you by your materials? What size Bingo was that? The balsa supply places are way cheaper than the LHS and they all charge $8 to ship. So you got the materials for your bingo for $5?????

Last winter I built a GP Big Stick 40 from my plans because they don't kit it anymore. I had a huge sheet of 1/8 ply, so I didn't have to order that. My wood cost $25 and $8 to ship. Some parts I had too, but if I would have had to buy wing bolts, landing gears, motor mounts, and every single piece of hardware I would have had close to $100 dollars in it. I'm including wheels, gas tank, lines and everything except engine and radio.

As I said in my earlier post, there are times when a person can save money plans building, but for most people kits are a better value.

I too like to have something different at the field. That's why I was so bummed when Ace kitted the plane I built from plans .
