Great job as usual Andy. I forwarded the LINK on to a guy back in Illinois who might have an interest in SPADDing. You make it look SOOOOO easy. Ha Rich

Thanks Rich. yeah forward to anybody you want too. I will be doing a spadet build soon. I have the corostang ready to be uploaded also. Im glad you enjoyed it. part 5 should be done by now.
I will be doing the corsair next.
after building 75 plus spads, it gets easier each time. you will get there! I was the same way. I used to look at the other guys builds and was totaly amaized.

Andy, a number of things slow/stop people from trying this hobby. When you add up the cost of a 4 channel new radio; receiver; an engine; and THEN the $150.00 or so cost of a plane that crumbles in one crash....

...lots of guys just don't want to spend the bucks to "see" if they like the hobby.

With new cheap ARFS; OR...cheap new radios and receivers...and a reasonably priced engine or electric motor/esc/batttery...add in a SPAD .... there are a lot fewer $$$$$ issues in the excuse pile..

I got suckered in with a $75.00 cost for two almost non-flying electrics...but..now I can proudly say I've spent more in the last two years than I did on my last two boating years... Ha ha

Keep 'em coming. regards, Rich

Yeah, I know were your coming from. if it wasnt for SPADS, Im not sure if I would still be flying. If I was, I would be building a balsa plane every two months. I dont do arfs. the spads have kept me and my two boys in the game and have been enjoying every minute of it. I will keep the videos coming. any requests for a build video?
