Right on!!! Tell them about the cost of your Proctor Albatros kit; it should

Well, actually, we were talking about static display models
rather than flying models. But has the same INSANE
escalation of prices been happening over in the flying

in the quality of the kits?

Somewhere in here we have to tell the model makers that this
isn't okay any more.
