The truth is there is a huge difference in the skill required to build a kit, as opposed to assembling an ARF. That.s just a fact. It doesn't make one person doing the job better than the other, just more skilled. Any one that builds kits can assemble an ARF, but only a few that assemble ARF's could build a kit. They don't have the skill. That's the difference. BTY, I do both kits and ARF's and I even just bought a RTF. Haven't had time to screw the RTF together yet as I am finishing details on a kit I built, and at the same time doing a "bash" on an ARF. On an ARF is it still a "kit bash" or is it an "ARF bash"??
