Another builder here and have been for the last 22 years. My enjoyment in this hobby is the building and the satisfaction of flying my work. I stocked up on numerous kits a few years ago and scored on some old red box top flite kits and Royal kit. I don't like arfs or any kind there of where the real work of building is done for you. Yes they building kits are time consuming especially when I have children. I even have my 10 year daughter building a Sig Kadet as her airplane and I she loves evey bit of it. Well I'll come back to his thread in a little while and see how many more of us are still out there.
