RE: Building vs. not building
I build, I arc, I arf. I like them all, and love to see all of them at the field. First flight of an ARF is interesting, and when it goes well, I think that it's nice to have it back in on the ground in ready to fly again. If it goes bad, I wounder about the quality of the plane or the glue used or things like that. When I build and have a good first flight, I tell the world, "I BUILT THAT!" and I smile all day long. If it goes bad, I wounder what the h**l I did wrong. Warped wing, missed a spot to glue, like that. And it bugs me a LONNNGGG time. I am just thankful that the quality of ARFs have improved. When the hit the market a few years back....P.U. As long as it flyes, its all good.
