I think Patrick hit the nail on the head with the amount of time we spend with work and family. When I was an active builder, I had no kids and was just starting my career. Fast forward to graduate school, 2 kids and a wife, and a demanding job, and I don’t have time to build. With the limited free time I have, I prefer to fly than build. Given my schedule it would take me a decade to build a kit.

True story, I bought a PNP foam turbine F-16. It took me 9 months to find the time to install the turbine. I still haven’t flown it. 😂
