''PLEASE DON'T LIST ARF'S IN THE KIT SECTIONS! ''

You first need to define the term KIT. Real, full size, aircraft come in KITS, that look just exactly like an ARF; but they are still KITS.

As an A&P IA and builder of homebuilts, I would say that depends on the plane you wish to build? If your talking an composite plane such as a Legacy or Velocity then yes it resemble an ARF but they sitll take years to finish, but a metal aircraft still looks like a kit even at the extremes of the 51% builder rule. But I’m not talking abut a full size planes. ALL IM SAYING IS IF THE PLANE YOU ARE SELLING COMES PARTLY ASSEMBLED AND COVERED OR IS ALREADY PAINTED, THEN DON'T LIST IT WITH A TRADITIONAL KIT! BY TRADITIONAL I MEAN DIE CUT LASER CUT OR PRINTED SHEETS. I DON'T WANT TO SORT THROUGH FOAMIES ECT WHILE TRYING TO FIND THAT SPECIAL KIT THAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE BUILD...
