Seriously, anyone can get them... you just have to cough up (choke...choke) enough money. Since I'm not a builder/painter and I know that Adrian isn't one either... having someone else build/paint for me is a boon especially when it can be done to my specs. Having the right connections helps too.
BTW, we just weighed Adrian's ProLine last night - ready to fly it weighs 10lbs 6.5oz (ready to fly without fuel of course). He's had the plane for 6 months already and hasn't even flown it!!! He better do it soon otherwise my eXodus will be flying before it...
Hey, I may not be a builder, but I did finished an ARF recently - the World Models Spot-On 120. It required me to glue the two wing halves together, not to mention the daunting task of mounting the canopy. Besides, even though, I'm not a builder, but I did stay at the Holiday Inn last night.
As for the ProLine, I'm just waiting for the perfect day:-
Wind - 3 mph
Temp - 23 degrees C
Humidity - 60%
