thank you very much for the response, and i totally agree with you, but i have this horrible tendency to go WAY OVERBOARD. i have thought about what you have said, and i am still drawn towards the warbirds. however, i just got back from the hobby shop, and in there plastic model section, i noticed some small balsa .020 sized aircraft..... anyone know anything about these? it looks like they cover everything in a 60 size build, yet in a much smaller, quicker to learn on kit. OR AM I JUST CRAZY [>:].
