Deadbeat,

Just a little about me,

I do composite layup for aircraft for a living. I've been flying RC for about 7-8 years and my only experience
building was when I built a Bridi Trainer.40 in say 1980-81.

Built beautifully but then a little brother was jumping on the bed where my newly covered
(in Super Monokote) bird sat. [:@]You know what happened next! [:@]

I've been into aircraft and aerodynamics since I was six and saw my
first RC airplane.

This was back in a time where nobody was willing to help newbs especially
young ones and Futaba sets were $400 for basic 4-channel setup.
I was devastated and left the hobby through puberty and
young adulthood. It was through my introduction of the HZ Firebird II
that lit the fire for me again and I've been flying since.

The Bridi did not require any shear web for it's construction so forgive
me if I'm not versed in this type of wing. With that said,

It really sounds like your talking down to people more than trying to understand the problem.
The "ARFERS" comment is totally unnecessary and I feel if you didn't fly ARFs yourself
you would never set your eye on the subject. As much as I would LOVE to have the tools,
area and time to build. I just don't have either so I choose to buy ARFS. This doesn't
make everybody unaware of "what really holds an airplane together".
