Default First Kit Builder...

After reading your previous posts and careful consideration I think you should forget the kit and simply start a scratch building project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've thought of doing this, but I don't really understand airframes enough to go in blind...a stick kit seems a logical first step...

One piece of advice building airplanes is one aspect of the hobby and flying airplanes is another.

I agree, and want to enjoy and excel at both...

Using your foam airplane for practice makes good sense in more ways then I care to list.. Your unwillingness to use it for trainning purposes confuses me.. Why would you risk a plane that took hours to build when you have a disposable one??

The foamie seems like a toy, without wanting to start a huge flame...besides, I'd have to invest in charger/batteries/etc, when I want to focus on engines, not motors...foamies have their rightful place, and by God it is a free country, but I want to build what I fly, risk being part of the thrill.

Thanks for writing...

Regards, George
