Age, I think you are confusing the Bridi with the Duraplanes. Trust me, the Dirty Birdy isn't anything close to the bricks that the Duraplanes are. But on that, they aren't a second plane too. I've had a Dirty Birdy and it's an extremely capable plane. Hang on to it and build it by all means, it's well worth it, but do it later on down the road. Maybe 3rd or 4th plane.

Hope this helps
