Here's the biggest problem I have with spending months building something: it has a very good possiblity of crashing. Not matter who you are, how good you are at flying, the thing could take seconds to down and turn 6 months of balsa and covering into saw dust.

That's the problem I have with building. Even an ARF is a lot of work. You make it your pride and joy, fall in love with it, and crack, crack, crack, there it is in pieces before you, or in a tree, IF you can even find it. But that's just me.
