I'd like to know what happened to Mosquitobite Planes. Their T-Rex was one of the best kits I've ever built and the plane remains a great flyer. They still have a website up, but no activity in a looong time. If anybody knows, please let me know.

As far as the "time to build" debate goes, IMHO it's a matter of time management. You MAKE your building time. I work full time (combination shift and day work), am active in church and civic groups, support the local Philharmonic, play in a folk music group, sing in my church choir, am remodeling a house AND I still have time to build and (sometimes) fly. I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do I quickly get the idea that I'm not missing much.

In the end, it depends on what your priorities are and how you deal with them.
