I drove an hour yesterday to Columbus, Ohio to actually be able to go to a Hobby Shop. I kind of like to touch and see things once in awhile before I buy it. (We have not hobby shop). I went to "Clyclone Hobbies". It was amazing there we hundreds of helicopters, RTA and BNF airplanes, cars and boats etc. I was all mesmerized, then I asked where the kits and supplies were? The reply was we can order any kit you want and the supplies were limited to a four foot display of obsolete dubro parts. I was then told there was just no demand for it. "WOW!!!" I know a lot of people do not have the time to build kits ( I don't myself)but I will find the time. But I can read the satisfaction in the voices of the threads when someone flys the model they just built. You can't replace that with the ARF's and BNF's. It just makes me want to build more so when I go to the airfield and someone says where did you get that model, I can say " I built it Myself!" Thanks for letting me vent. Sam
