I can only assume that many R/C pilots like me would rather 'build' an ARF due to time constraints. I have a 19 month old son and a very high maintenance wife that probably requires more time, attention and money than my son. Anyhow, I have absolutely "0" time to build a full blown kit. As it is, it takes me about a month or so to get an ARF ready for its first flight as I usually only work and maintain my planes late in the evening hours after my son and wife have turned in for the night. God Bless the ARF Gods and their support staff. I love this hobby, but with my limited time, I would much rather fly versus build. To each his own though.

Good luck
