Hi all, It's an interesting thread you've started and one I wish more people would discuss. ARTF is a useful thing to have but it's not done the kit industry any favours. If you look at kit prices you could be forgiven for saying they are very expensive compared to a model that is already built. What people are forgetting though is that the pleasure is actually in the building, The anticipation of thinking will it fly? (of course if you followed the plan, it will) Then spending time trimming the model to suit perfectly, your style of flying. Then after all this you have an aeroplane that gives you pride. It also teaches you some valuable skills and passing on this knowledge also gives pleasure.
