Sorry, I can't hold back. I'll repeat myself:
If you build something from scratch that means you have drawn a set of plans or construction drawings to allow you to build the model.
If you obtain a set of plans or construction drawings from other sources to help with the build of the model, that is a plans-built project.
This is not my idea nor anything new, but something I was exposed to some 55 years ago when I started building flying models.

I'm sorry too.
If I aquire a set of plans , cut my own wing ribs and fuselage formers, manufacture my own landing gear, control horns, etc. all from just a set of plans, you, better believe I am going to tell everyone it is scratch built!
But what I really don't get is why it matters to some in such a serious way? Why is it even being discussed in this perticular thread? This build thread is one of the finest I have seen in a long time. Very nice job!
