I'd bet money that way back when kits were just coming on the scene (when all a person could DO was build from scratch) those guys were grumbling about how lazy people were getting to have to have everything cut for them.
I agree with the stagnation theory. Abraham Lincoln built some of the kits still available today. And it's always the same old thing Piper, blah, blah, Mustang, blah, blah...
So I guess I have to change the Jack Stafford line to "discontinued" at my kit database [link]http://www.rcdbase.com[/link] huh?
