<span style="background-color: rgb(251,252,255); font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px">the next thing that needs to be addressed is how sturdy is the kit built vs the arf. a well built kit will last 20 years, as i have observed most arfs last 2-3 seasons</span>

</div><div>Depends who's on the sticks, I'll bet. [8D] I prefer to build instead of watching the tube, but also have Arf's that aren't available as a kit.</div><div>
</div><div>The flight box cost should be reduced by half (how many fliers have just one plane? a minority), and the radios should be comparable, not 6-ch vs. 4-ch and FM vs. 2.4. Apples-to-apples pleez.</div>
