I got the ARF because it was early october and I wanted to get some stick time in before winter. I also know even If I would have got a kit in July I would have rushed my butt off trying to get it done so I could fly and it would probably look like crap.

Now I really really want to build a kit. I can't wait. Now that I already have a plane to fly I feel I can take as much time as I need and still be able to fly. I think I will do a much better job because I won't be rushed.

I have to agree with Skitchen8 though. I am not that familiar with NC weather, but if it is any thing like Kentucky (I am sure it is similiar) the warm nice flying days are pretty much over till spring. I am sure I will still be out there freezin my butt off flying now and then, but not nearly as much as I have been the past few months.

At this time of year with the entire winter in front of you, why not build a kit? If you buy an ARF you probably won't get to fly it much for the next few months anyway. At least with a kit you can be obsessing about building instead of flying. It may help to pass the winter faster and keep your mind off the fact that the weather is to crapy to fly.

But this is just my opinion. What ever you decide the best of luck to you.[sm=cool.gif]
