Me neither. But considering the mentality of what it seems to *take*
to survive with indoor, I think the long(er) term potentially-hookable-
builder would get so much more satisfaction out of building from the
collection of materials than would any easy-path-modeler (no time to
spend, blah, blah) would derive from gluing together a collection of
pre-fabbed parts.

Of course, this doesn't exactly address *marketability,* but my vote
goes to what seems best for indoor as we know it--a traditional kit,
IMO. Of course, some want to *only fly* and not build, and they don't
pretend otherwise. There are enough places to find that. But.

Eventually, ya gotta learn to repair indoor, and get intimate with the
structure--not too hard if ya really built it to start with.

Just my too-sense, :^)

PS, I consider this "indoor philosophy" and so far not arguing (and
it's not about rules!) Anyhow, I promise no other personal input about
this. Of course anyone's take is welcome, since input was solicited
from this group by the potential supplier. (Tim)
