Offends? I don't think that is representative of many, there may be a few vocal types that spurn anything of an RTF nature. And it goes ditto the other way.
I would say it is more in the realm of preferences, of which there is much freedom in. Main thing is to enjoy what you are doing, whether it is ARF and ARF parts, building from kits or scratch and repairing, ARF flying and self repairing, etc. If someone does like it, and if we aren't doing something wrong like breaking rules, then tough grits to others. Life is too short to let others control one's happiness.
I vigerously agree.
To each their own. I don't understand why people who choose to do as little as they have to on the building/fixing side are villified. It doesn't really affect those that still like to create sawdust.
