RE: ARF's are Kits?
Writers for magazines and some advertisements have been starting to call ARFs kits for about a year or more. Why, I'm not too sure. They must have the brains to know the difference or by telling ARF people they are building a kit may sell more?? I'm not sure if these fools know how much it pissesoff builders. Almost as much as when someone posts about building there ARFs. I'm sure some of these articles we see in magazines are written by the ARF manufacture then just handed to a writer or editor to put in there magazine. On the flip side of that, true scratch builders feel the same way when we post about scratch building a plane and we are talking about a kit or building from plans. It happens. Someone that writes for a magazine must know the difference between a kit and an ARF though or they should be fired from the magazine. No one wants to pay for a magazine and read articles written by an idiot. Yet, the magazines still sell???
