High guys. I'm new around this forum but have spent several years in the Spad area. My first plane was a Spirit sail plane kit. I got into spads because I like to build and experiment. I ended up here because I'm wanting to build a 3D Hot Hots, and maybe later a Virginia Creeper. I think ARFs have added to our numbers at the field, but also think that we end up with a large group that simply replaces planes as they crash them and don't learn how to fix or build. There is no since of pride with ARFs, and I see many guys get board and walk away just as quickly as they showed up. There is nothing like seeing something you built and put time into take to the air. I'd love to see more plans from the Mags with short kits available. I also like showing up at the field with a plane that is more me than everyone else.
