Trust must be earned.

I, and apparently others, don't see where it was out of context. Apparently in your comprehension, any detraction from SPAD is "out of context".

I'm not saying SPAD is bad, it's just not a solution to the problem cited.

back on topic;

I've been instructing for many years and strongly feel that choosing the right trainer is a key factor in determining your success.
I'm not convinced the "plastic fantastic" fold-n-fly designs live up to a well designed, well built balsa plane. Sure the Spadet looks like a Kadet (intentionally) but I doubt it has the same characteristics or that you average newbie can successfully build and fly one from the "plans" I've seen....
