I'm happpy you got your answer, Benchalot. We try, but often get waylayed by some of the.... well, suffice to say that we all had something to say. Some good, some bad. I've tried, built, and flown SPADs so I can speak from experience, unlike some of the posters.
But, if you do go the SPAD forum, there are many examples and plans for building all sorts of SPADS, from lawn-mowers to flying dog-houses, to actual winged aircraft

That's where I got the ideas for the ones I've built, and I must admit that they were a lot of fun both in the build and the flying.
Enjoy y'self and just wade through all the bu__sh_t.
