The odds of somebody with no modelling or building experience slapping together their very first Spadet and having it come out as nicely as an LT-40 ARF is almost nil.
The first spad i built without outside help was a spadet, the plans are very straightford and easy to follow requiring no difficult tecchniques. as A6 said it flies like a dream, not to mention it survives full throttle encounters with trees much better than the LT40[:@][8D]
