I like building kits, but I can't build them cheaper than an ARF and that bothers me. By the time you buy the kit and 3 rolls of covering, 2 bottles of glue, 2 cans of spray paint you could easily buy an ARF.

I fly ARF's better. That bothers me too. I don't really care about them - nothing invested in them but money. Some are built like crap, but some are really well constructed, even the ones from China. Where else are they built?????

Can anyone tell me how they cover those darned things with out even 1 bubble???? That bothers me as well.

You sure don't get the pride of ownership that you do from kits or scratch built planes. You also don't get the enjoyment and challenge of constructing something your self.
