I really like ARFs. I have just enough attention span to assemble an ARF. After a few weeks (making modifications, substituting parts, etc) of assembly I'm done, and I want to fly.
I'm not afraid to remove covering and repair or rework. I don't have enough space to leave a kit out on a table for months at a time without something getting lost or damaged.

I respect and appreciate kits, but I truly enjoy a quality ARF.

Now, Nascar... I'm not a fan (but I don't hate it either) but if we could get those boys to run on some kind of renewable fuel, it could have a pretty major impact on our environment and economy.

And rap? Well, nothing good to say there.[:'(]
