Culver General Discussion / New Member

Hi Folks,
I have been interested in small planes for about 30 years, I was an EAA member in the 1980s, and RAA (Canada) since then. I am also a glider pilot. I like Culver Cadet, and would get one or build one, but I need some advice from the Forum members.
So far I see 3 models: Culver Cadet LCA (Continental) and LFA (Franklin), as well as Neal La France's STF (Experimental). Question: are any Culver Cadets available for sale now? I would be interested in rebuilding one. Or is it better to go with the Experimental one?
Also, I noticed that the STF is missing the Slots in front of ailerons; the LCA and LFA have the slots. The slots are there to improve flight control at low air speeds, right?
Are the plans for STF still available?
I admired the twin Culver Cadets flying on the YouTube.
Regards,
Gregory
