I can understand the sentiment, if all you want to do is FLY SOMETHING. A lot of people who have tried building aircraft never got them off the ground at all, and a lot of others that did get them to fly have gotten critically hurt or killed within 20 or 30 feet of the ground.

For some people tho building it is half the fun. Today you can get stronger materials than ever, plus there is more methods now to help,,,, we have drafting software, and you can build RC models to get an idea of actual handling characteristics, if you are really wanting to pour serious money into the full-size project.
