RE: Arf prices?
We have got to love RCU. I have searched for a name for the plywood as it is called in some ARF aircraft. Flakeboard? I like it. The only thing I could come with is the way it looked and felt like graham crackers. How about take a bath and get a job. How about the suggestion we are hooked and will pay whatever is asked. How about the saying that sounds like something Pop-Eye would say. If you want to build, build and if you want to fly buy. Is ARF just the in thing now? I wonder. In the days of kits only and scratch build. The scratch guys were always admired for many reasons. Kit builders were all judged by how the build came out. There was a time when the kits became stale. The ARF craze put life back into the flight line. Now we have RTF electrics and others things. Will building make a come back? There is so many other things that compete for our time. We all know at one time the only competition for our building time was the idiot box, also know as TV. How many things now distract us? The pleasure, pride and self satisfaction associated with building has been lost it seems. Like everything else in this sport/hobby. We are looking for our CG. Many have seen a lot of change in this hobby. The strange thing, the more it changes the more it stays the same.
