With a Little Luck, the spring winds are settling down some and there's lots of good flying going on. And with the weather beginning to warm up nicely let's hope those winter projects are all trimmed out and flying well now.rnIn modeling, there are as many ways to build a model as there are modelers who build them. In talking with modelers all around the world I find that we are a very diverse group, with many different visions of how a Model Airplane should be done, and how it should look when it's finished. Some fall into the "purist" class who look upon a model as a miniature reproduction of the original airplane. Others look upon a model as simply a representation of its full-size counterpart. Most are somewhere in between.rnHow a finished model should look is a widely varied opinion, but in the end is purely up to the individual builder. Those of us who grew up on the old "stick and tissue" style freeflight models, from the likes of Earl Stahl, Walt Mooney, Don Srull and others, tend to lean toward the classic look that some would describe as the "starved horse". Others see it as a leisurely trip back to kid-hood. At the same time, not everyone can warm up to the fully sheeted smooth look of modern all-metal airplanes.
