Default RE: AFR'S WHY NOT KITS

It's really fun to find a reproduction kit that comes in an original print box, and see the original price printed on the end flap. That original Falcon 56 kit was about 10 hours pay then, but the new one is only about 4 or 5 hours pay now. My first proportional radio in 1967 took a bit more than a month's pay as an Air Force Sergeant, but this summer I bought a 7 channel computer radio for 9 hours pay. Sometimes, those "Good Ol' Days" never were. I occasionally have a nightmare that I give up building for ARFs.
