I'm still doing stick and tissue, a kit here and there and a couple of ARFs and it is enjoyable but I don't think I could ever get to this point or aquire the skills necessary to get anywhere close.  This type of work must be admired by any who dream of being this good.  

After all is said and done, can this T-38 talon be produced as a kit and fiberglass copies sold or sold to a company that makes models?  That would make all of the hard work put into it that much more enjoyable to my way of thinking anyway, but I've found over the years that not many people think like me. 

My favorite airplane of all time is Art Scholl's Super Chipmunk.  I've watched every video on his flying that I can find.  I built the Carl Goldberg version way back in 1987 and had more than 200 flights on that before the elevator broke at the end of loop.  In hindsight, pre-flight checkups would have prevented that. Since, I've bought two different kits and an ARF of the Super Chipmunk but they still sit in their lonely boxes.   blabber, blabber, blabber ...
