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.
One of those advancements ... I have to work my butt off to make a kit come out as nice as an ARF. You don't see too many people these days unload a duct-taped, glue globbed frankenstien and set it next to a Hanger9 Corsair and say with their nose held in the air, "I built mine from a kit. How can you fly those ARFs?"
