As I look through Barnstormer's it is obvious that unfinished dreams are there in abundance. All sorts; plastic, wood, rag and tube and even those whose wings rotate. But, as we have gained experience, my question has to do with the various airplanes kit or spam cans that comes to your mind. What is the best and worst of the predominant aircraft that we have experienced. For instance, I know that the early Lancairs had a small tail that was enlarged. How does the early Lancair or Glasair or whatever brand compare with the later and more "refined" versions? The early Cessna 210 was refined over the years into a great airplane whilst the Bonanza is basically the same from the beginning until now. Any comments as to what to look for and what to avoid? I'm basically trying to better educate myself on what is going to be out there in the next years.
