I think the prices are high. I can't look at this as much of a member benefit. If sales are crisp, they know what they're doing at the business end...but who knows how many would be builders they have jaded?
Mode One, for the price of 1 set of plans for the planes you build I could buy enough balsa to build 3 little RC planes. So what I miss most are the magazine issues that used to include full size or 1/2 size plans.
