RE: Does anyone really build any more?
I don't build jets but I do build prop driven planes. Building is the best part of the hobby. The ARF guys come into the hobby and spend a few thousand bucks. In a couple of years they are bored as could be and drop out. I think it's great. There's plenty of money coming in that would not be there if it wasn't for the ARFS and the fields don't get crowded. It's the best of both worlds. I keep telling them that it's like sex without the foreplay. They don't listen to me. Dan.
