I predict that more of what the Waco brotherhood is doing will happen. Reviving tried and true classic designs. With pages added, that have missing templates on them, true builders (and aspiring builders) can satisfy that balsa dust craving. I got in on the Waco revival late but I can tell you there are some dedicated people working on it. I also purchased a Super Duallist 2/60. A similar project a few years back. Unfortunately my kit had some delivery damage so I havent really gotten around to it yet, but will in the future. I will be stocking up on kits and projects such as this to keep me busy in retirement.

Edit: My biggest concern is loosing access to plans services like the RCM collection. I realize it probably doesnt produce a lot of income, but would be nice if RCU could buy it. And I agree about the AMA collection, they have full timers. They should scan the pictures and include them. Unless its a scale plane, you dont always have an idea of what the plane will look like. Even if its scale, you dont always know how accurate it is or even if its squint scale.
