Come On!!! Be fair here! you want to compare a scale wood plane with a SPAD Fun Fly! Get with the program.... You can not compare apples and oranges!!! Take a look at some scale SPADs if you want to post comparison pictures! Spad are great for beginners who don't want to spend $300 in wood learning to fly!
First, let me say that I think Spads are wonderful. And anything that is nearly indestructible is a fabulous way for a beginner to start out.
I was only replying to the comment "why would i spend more $$ on a plane that flys the same as a $10 SPAD"
Something you guys have to remember is that everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I wouldn't drive a Cadillac, I would rather drive a smaller, more maneuverable car. But I'm not going to tell someone "Don't buy a Cadillac, You can get a Ugo for $10!"
Some people will pay millions of dollars to hang a nice piece of art on their wall. Next time you see one, ask them why they got it instead of a copy of "Dogs Playing Poker" for $10?
BTW: With tongue planted firmly in cheek, I WAS comparing apples to oranges. Here's Apples to Apples
