Sounds to me like you have a chip on your shoulder, or maybe an ax to grind... Personally I like them all, the nice little model ARFs that I buy and fly, like these,
and the giant scales that I design, scratch build, and fly, like these. I do this just so I can try to understand what true aeromodelling is all about...
