I don't quite know why but I have my heart set on the LT-40 now.
Then what are you waiting for...
While I have a well stocked Hobby shop only a few blocks from my work, they don't stock many kits. So I use them to buy other stuff. I'm saving up for a 10 channel radio. I try to buy as much locally as I can. But online is a good way to get things where isn't a big local market.
Next purchase.. I'm thinking Top Flight Spitfire.
