I build all of my own models, sometimes from scratch, but mostly from kits. I hate "bARFs", They are all exactly alike., assembled by someone in a factory. Who knows what may be weak inside, and just waiting to cause a crash. Half the fun is in the building anyway. I prefer to build my model, and design my own paint scheme. I still like to use silk and dope. I'm old as dirt, and like the old school methods, of building, and flying. These clowns who are giving our hobby a bad name should be punished harshly, for the things they do. If it were up to me, I'd outlaw the quads altogether.
Gibby;
It's our personal likes and dislikes that make the world go round. Some people like to fly by them selves. I my self like the commorodery and the banter at the Field with my friends. Heck a lot of times I don't even get a plane out .. to much like WORK to put one together. Unlike U I don't much care for building, much less even putting an ARF together. Thank God for USED and Swap Meets and thank GOD for RCU.
I guess what I'm trying to say that every one has different ways of getting pleasure out of life and our Hobby/Sport. No one should be "exalted for" or "looked down upon" because they don't do things the way someone else does or likes or doesn't care for what others like. Life would be so BORING if we all were in lock step and everyone thought and did everything just like everyone else does. Now again that's JMHO
