Your crazy paranoid and I mean that in the nicest way!! 10 years is not long enough for a complete paradigm shift in terms of what we have now and what we have then in terms of "building" models. Woods, paint, fasteners, foam, will all be there. There may be addtitional products that make tasks easier in terms of connectivity and hookup like all the stuff dubro and othes come out with but the tried and true will still be there too. As far as the low tech stuff building wise, your fine.

Now electronics, that's a different story. Assuming your old enough, we've all seen the demise of the VCR and rise of the cell phone. The demise of the 8track, the rise and presently somewhat demise of the cd player and the rise of digital music to name only a few. Does anyone even buy a cd anymore, when you can get the 3 or 4 songs you like best for 3 or 4 bucks? In terms of Radios, that's what I find most interesting. I believe the features will keep coming . I test software and I didnt see the coming of the bullet proof features of 2.4. I knew another higher band would be good, but all the switching that goes on between rcvr and xmitter with all the failsafe features occuring in nano seconds. Nope
