RE: The ARF bashing stops here
I also agree that we should all have fun, and fly whatever achieves that goal.
I would however, encourage those starting out in the hobby/sport to endeavor to build a kit sometime while they are involved in the hobby/sport. This way the needed skills to repair the inevitable dings will be acquired. I fly a mix of all planes and have had to repair quite a few dings to ARFs (my own and students). daveopam already possesses these skills, so make all the ARF's you want. If you prang one, you know how to fix it straight and true.
Oh, the Pizazz is a pretty fun sport plane. I've had one, and there's another in our club - also with the Saito 72 - that I get to fly often.
