That's the same thing I thought. It's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. A BT-80 based kit would likely be at least twice as expensive as this one. There's enough custom balsa in the kit to make a larger one quite pricey. It would be cool, but the BT-60 size is perfect for me to fly at B6-4 Field, and that's a LOT easier than loading up and driving 1.5 hours to do my big field stuff. I'm going to try to find the time to finish it this weekend so I can take advantage of what looks like potential flying weather on Sunday.
