I only build kits, and do not intend to put an ARF together. With that being said, I think a big part of the problem is we are living in an instant gratification society. People decide they want to fly, then that means today, not six months from now after putting together a bunch of ply and balsa.
I'm guessing from that, if I looked on your workbench I would not find a bottle of CA? Instant gratification is a good thing. Email, telephone, UPS Next Day Air, CA. It's how we improve as a race. Noone wants to wait anymore, and in this day and age you shouldn't have to.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but ARF's do serve a purpose.
