Phil I totally respect that you, Berry and others are scratch builders. You are in the minority. You, and less than the number of fingers on my hands, will be the builders at this contest. Wouldn't it be nice if we still had builders not buyers? Well maybe not from you business prospective but think of it from the view of the hobby/sport. Ray made a generous offer to have a class that would be a wood wing builder class that was completely ignored. I think that that is a real slap in the face for him and all the other wood wing builder/flyer pilots that are supporters of the hobby. I guess they don't really have that much buying power so it doesn't matter.

I'm sure there will be at least a few Big Buck, Build & Fly models as well and some of those will be flown by Big Boys. Mine will be flown by a mere mortal though. Wow! This started out as a light hearted post but I just went back and read the entire post I was responding to more closely.......I have the skill and determination to build what I fly. I think this a great event and am very greatful that the effort is being made to put it on. I'll be there with my home built models. I'm not feeling the least bit left out or slighted. Why do people assume that scratch builders aren't really scratch builders if they don't use much wood anymore?
