ROTFLMAO!!

This is starting to look like a Chevy VS Ford rally here!

I'm a little surprised at some of the reactions, including some apparently bent feelings this thread is causing a bunch of grown men to have.

Bottom line, we can all agree (I hope) that properly built, SPAD's are a decent airplane for a much lower cost that the traditional Balsa, kit, ARF orRTF plane .

If you like the idea of saving money and don't mind putting some extra effort into what may become trial and error, build a SPAD. If your bent on spending the $$ for a balsa built kit because the "Cheap plastic junk isn't worth having" then go for it!

However, lets try and not discourage so many n00bs to the hobby, were I not as stubborn and bull headed as I can be I would have quit trying a long time ago, (Almost did) because "you cant do that" and "Its going to be really expensive" and "if you cant afford to crash don't fly" and all sorts of other naysayer crap that turns new people off in a hurry. I swear some of you make it sound like you spend %10 of your time flying and the rest earning and spending thousands on new parts to fix your wrecks..
