Congrats, Jeff! Following a great build with a perfect test flight? Now what are you going to do?

The common question now is "Why build when you can ARF?"
I came up with this reason;
"Because when you buy an ARF it's supposed to fly and when it does, big deal. So the product performs as advertised, it's expected.

When you build an airplane, you hope it will fly. Even after checking everything twice and knowing the plane is well prepared, it's still wonderful when it lifts off, climbs, and flies in trim. It's satisfying because you did it right. Flying an ARF can't provide that sense of satisfaction.

I'm not writing this to knock ARFs, I buy them for everyday models. Instead, I wanted to celebrate the feeling of flying one ya built yerself. A project like Jeff's is an adventure. It's a link back in time to the hangars where yards of cloth were pulled over delicate wooden framework and doped tight. Well done!
