On the whole ARF/RTF/Kit thing :

I'm in for kit money. That was my original offer...$20 for the purchase of a kit if we see a build thread, and that's the offer I'm standing behind. If the recipient would rather have an ARF, that's fine, and I'll gladly stand up to my offers of servos, fuel tank, and/or props.

As for age...bah...by 7 yr old son is working on his first kit right now (indeed, as I type this). Age smage. Never too early to start building. Age simply impacts how much assistance might be needed.

Twice now someone has felt it necessary to 'remind us" that the OP hasn't replied. Thanks so much. We're all aware that Blazer1 has remained silent on this issue. We're simply trying to organize an opportunity to pay a little of our own fortune forward to help someone back into the air. If Blazer1 doesn't wish to take advantage of the offer, that's certainly ok. He/She can let us know by posting, not posting, whatever. I'm pretty sure that if we don't get a response, we'll be able to figure out not to send all this stuff to an address we don't know.

If he/she's offended by the offer, that's fine too. The offers are made out of a desire to help someone fly, and I'm sure we'll get over it if they're refused, and Blazer1 will get over our offering.
