but I think ARFs teach people the least affectively of any of them.
Why? You don't need to know how to build to Fly? Thats hogwash. I hear that spouted over and over again in this thread and in this forum and at the field. and I know lots of people flying that can't build.

ARF's are very effective....and they popularity speaks for it...if they were not effective, they would not be popular...that is how capitalism works.
I agree that you don't know how to be able to build to fly. Read my post above again as to why I think people should build their first trainer. Do you think that a person should finally start trying to build when they need their precision aerobat or scale masterpiece?

Why not learn when it's not critical and then when it is they'll have the skills. That's my point. If all they were ever going to fly is a trainer, then an ARF is fine. But most people want to progress. As popular as ARF's are, they do not fill the needs or desires of everyone.
