It's your loss, so I'm not sure why I'm wasting my time on this response, but I think there is something important to be said here.
Your attitude is causing you to miss what the Internet is all about. HTML took off like a rocket because any KID (of any age) could put up a web page. Over the years, the professional artists and web-page designers have gradually changed the commercial pages to be glitzy and aesthetically pleasing. That's great if you're a big company with lots of money.
What if you're not a big company? Maybe you're just a person with a big heart, a lot of friends, and a teensy bit of money. You'd be Tattoo, one of my Internet heros. You could use this technology, and a lot of time and sweat, and build a huge Internet community. You could help people all over the world find happiness in RC Flying. THAT is what the Internet is all about!
Now, after putting your heart and soul into it, and your friends' heart and time and soul and labor, someone on the forum says, "Well I'm not even going to read your web page, because I don't like the aesthetics."
What would you say? Personally, I'd say that is the height of disrespect. But not Tattoo. Oh no. My Internet hero always responds, but always with a touch of humor, lightness, and respect. That is why he has built such a huge following.
Do yourself a favor. Read some of the SPAD pages. Understand that Tattoo did all the plans with nothing but MS Paint. Get involved. I doubt the Spad webmaster would turn down an offer of assistance.
It's not THEIR web page, it's OURS. If you have ideas on how to make them better, I'm sure the webmasters would like to hear them.
