I enjoy building but have some ARF's. My problem is the price of kits. I think apples for apples, time not included, ARF's are cheaper. Not sure how, other than the ARF manufacturer buys in massive bulk. Somebody cuts their kits as well but if they are purchasing 100 of them and I am only purchasing 1. They are purchasing 1,000 feet of monokote and I am purchasing 6. Throw in that they have to pay someone and make a profit. I say to each his/her own. I like them all, just wish there were more kits on the market and they weren't so expensive. Glad lasers have come along!
