I'm still building and have no plans to stop. I do think the landscape has changed though. The folks who want instant gratification will always go for ARFs. I think uploading issues here have helped to drive the more serious builders to RCSB. People involved in electric flight seemed to gravitate to RCG where there is much more info in that area. RCU seems to be a more general forum lately. While I have plenty of kits and plans sets in my stash, I can see having an ARF or 2 to fly while I finish a current build. It does get harder to build a kit of something that has a decent ARF version available though.
Leroy, you should post a pic or 2 of that beautiful Skywalker of yours, just to show what can be accomplished.
