Bri,
Your point is taken, but there's a flip-side to that. Like I mentioned, I've had people give up on Y/A ARF's and pay me to assemble them because of how much work it was. To that guy, installing air-lines, servos, engines and retracts was a ton of expert-class, skilled labor. One of them dumped it on the maiden (well, HIS maiden... I test-flew and trimmed it out prior to shipment) and proceeded to talk about what lousy planes they are. It's all relative, right?
