Good point Phil.
Many DLG pilots have built their own planes. I fly one that Ben
Roberto has designed and built, and even though there is no wood in
it, Ben has spent considerable time and produced a great flying plane.
Phil, Tom Kiesling, and Mike Lakowski always bring their "home-made"
planes with them to the NATS and continue to win. They build and fly
well. If they used wood vs fiberglass and CF their talents would not
be diminished. They would still be excellent builders with great
flying planes.
How many of the "Woody" pilots have actually designed and built the
planes they fly, or are they just gluing together numbered
pieces. Probably similar to the "ARF" planes.

Nostalgia at the Nats is canceled this

AMA/LSF ARF NATS. :-)
You know Ray, I have tremendous respect for what you have done to
promote woody events and I am happy whenever I see that your events
are successful and growing. The only thing that tweaks me is the way
that some woody fliers show so little respect for composite scratch
builders and repeatedly post things that imply that you can't be a
scratch builder unless you build the old fashioned way.
How about showing the many composite scratch builders a little respect now?
