Your statement pretty much sums up the ARF point of view. Buying, instead of doing.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it summerizes the differences in philosophy between builders and ARFers.

I have ARFs. Don't get me wrong. They have their place. I like the emotional dis-attachement. I have no sweat equity in them. I can go out and fly the heck out of them without thinking about how much time, effort, and soul I had to put into it.

You are right about it being a different philosophy, I respect that for some people building is as much a part of this hobby as flying but that is not the case for everybody. I know lots of real pilots that have no interest in being aircraft engineers, and vice versa.

Thats the beauty of this hobby. Enough diversity to keep everybody happy.
