Flintlock, just something to consider (Flame Shields Up) If I were you (actually I am looking for my second plane also, looking at almost exactly the same models) I would stay away from the SPADs. Only one reason... If you want to build that hog, I think it would help to have the experience of building another balsa kit before hand.

I think if you build another (balsa) kit first, you will get a few of the mistakes out of your system and the Hog will come out better. I just rebuilt my first kit (sat for 10 years,) and man was it a mess.

Just a snack for thought.
