Tom,

I had the impression that the walkaround CDs were already made and just had to be shipped when ordered. If you haven't got it by now I'm sure it's just an oversight, I'd drop Mike an email.

Jeff,

How about the 1/3 scale I-16? I have those same plans and would really like to see your build thread finished before I tackle it.

As far as this site versus RCSB, I think people here are comparing apples and oranges. This site has a lot of corporate sponsorship, and why not most of what you see here is threads on the latest ARF, or semi scale kit. Very seldom do you see scratch built or plans built planes being documented here and that's fine as that is what the majority of people are building these days. As a result a lot of companies pay good money to hawk their wares here and defray the cost of running the site which therefore is free to the user. RCSB on the other hand caters more to the scratch/plans/large scale builder, a much smaller community with little advertising dollars coming in. Mike does a great job running and supporting the site but it got to a point that he couldn't justify the cost out of his own pocket, so he ASKED, didn't demand, asked for help. Those of us that thought the site was useful ponied up the money necessary to keep the site going. Now here is a little tidbit for you. RCSB has roughly 5000 registered users and currently less than 300 of them pay to support the site. Less than 10% are footing the bill for the other 90% and even if you don't contribute you can still use the site. Site supporters get some benefits that non supporters don't but non supporters can still use the site. So before we go off on a tangent about RCSB, lets remember it's a shoestring operation run by one guy with the help of some of his friends in their spare time for which the only reward they receive is helping the modeling community. (Steps off soapbox)
