Mer1122's post in aircraft, "My First Plane...be kind", is a perfect example of how this forum works and what it's ment for. Those with experiance helping those without (or with less).

That old P-38 is one of those kits that I think could put a beginer right off the hobby completely out of the sheer frustration it can cause. |

(hope you guys don't mind)
I think that shows how good this forum is. When a lot of us started modeling this kind of interaction and exchange was not possible and, I dare say, Mer1122's excellent first aircraft was (partially) due to the advice posted here. By continuing in this way we can get new modelers involved and all of us will richer by the experiance.
Thanks to the FSM team and the people that are members of this forum I see a bright future for our hobby.
There's my couple pennies.
