Here's my latest 'woodworking' project, if you consider balsa wood and super glue to be woodworking.
I bought the plans and a stack of wood for this project probably 10 years ago.
Finally got around to building it. It was all scratch built, so no kit, just the sheets and sticks.
I just can't get into the whole 'ARF' or 'RTF' thing. To me, if you are going to throw something up the sky, you need to be able to fix it, and the only way to do that is if you build it!
Now I just have to get the nerve up to go out and fly the darn thing.
I do have a really nice kit on the way to build a motor glider, and then my little radio controlled fleet will be complete.
This is called the 'SkyCrawler' and is supposed to be a park flyer, but I'm thinking its a little heavy and over engineered and will probably fly just a little too fast to fit that description, but we shall see.
If the weather calms down this week, I just may have a go at getting it up in the air.
