Whats a First Good Kit?
After being away from the "build airplanes out of balsa" hobby for 20 years, I was just floored when I discovered that the ARFs could be decent quality and CHEAPER than you could build yourself. CA glues are the stuff! We had to use other glues way back then.
The sad thing is that I'm building kits now and I have so little time to work on them that I got so impatient I ran out to the LHS and bought an ARF. After many months I almost have a Sig SE, four-star 60, and GP cub 60 ready to go. But it only took me a couple evenings to get the Aresti (see avitar) ready to fly.
The other nice thing about ARFs is that if I smash one I won't be so upset about it like I would be if I smashed a kit plane.
I still like building...
