It's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to buy and build a kit. I know the original idea of the thread was alarm over the diminishing ARF
line, but, what a perfect time to try your hand at kit bashing. I have ARF's that I fly and really enjoy but nothing compares to the thrill of rolling out the plans, boning that model up, and covering and finishing it the way YOU want it to look. The maiden is always a little more exciting because of the work you put into it, but man once you see it flying it's an extra special rush. Another benefit is if we give Sig our hobby dollars, they will grow and have more purchasing power to attract really good overseas companies to build better ARF's.
