It seems this thread was intended to flame that same stupid fire,,,
It's coverage of the FXC,, anyone who's been to a 3d event knows it's all ARFs, been that way for years,,
time to get over it
+1, Agreed!
Some old fogeys are bitter about the 'new age' airplanes (ARFs).
The AMA is also targeting new pilots to join the brotherhood, so ARFs are a great and easy way to interest them... Not everyone has the 'skills' to scratch-build, or even build a kit and/or cover or paint it.
ARFs were not around when I started flying RC, and I certainly don't despise them when I see them on the cover of a magazine or in a LHS. Some folks should just overlook the fact that ARFs are here to stay and go build something
'in protest' of the new age in RC.
