yes, "assemble" seems to be the correct term in my opinion, as well. I guess it depends on which end of the spectrum you stand. very few of the younger crowd, those accustomed to "the age of ARF" types, have no interest , nor the talent and patience to "build" an entire plane from scratch or plans. many times, blaming it on not having the time. the truth is that they don't want to take the time,..... they want to fly now,....instant gratification. this same crowd is the crowd that has learned that manual labor is for someone else, (possibly of lower mental aptitude) and not for them so they confuse manual labor with the idea of building an airplane,...... that part of the hobby is not what they want to admit to doing. as an example,....I shot competitive archery all my adult life and I have seen many times over, that same younger age group shooting, but as soon as something doesn't work right all they want to do is take to the shop and let the shop fix the problem. they simply do not want o earn how to do things. the "service" aspect of whatever they do, is simply non-existent and they have no interest in reviving or maintaining it. consequently they don't learn a very big and important part of the sport and when confronted with a problem they don't want to be bothered with the effort involved in correcting the problem.
