For someone who is thinking about flying combat,
doesn't have any experience flying combat and wants to try it out, SPADs
are by far the easiest and cheapest way to go. This
particular style of aircraft has done very well in contests around the country.
The aircraft is manufactured from rain gutter downspout and Coroplast (TM) sign
material. Spads are so easy to build that folks have been building them at the
field on the weekend!
There is a website dedicated to building these
plastic aircraft, go to
Spad To The Bone and see what they have to offer. The
Spad type of aircraft is not limited to combat planes; the Debonair is one of
the finest trainers available and can be built at a fraction of the cost of a
new trainer ARF.
You say you don't want to build your own! There are people who will build them for you!
Yes, you can get a SPAD ARF!
You can contact James or Butch at the field, or check out their web site
