OK, The other day I was reading some posts in the clubhouse and they where talking about all the cookie cutter ARFs out there and they were tired of seeing them at there field. I don't wan't to start a ARF V builder thread, but there was one comment that got me to thinking. Someone said that he saw someone cleaning his proud ARF that he didn't build. (or something to that effect.)

Well, Can you be proud of an ARF??

I didn't build my Harley, but I'm sure proud of it. I didn't build my truck, and I proud of it too. as a matter of fact, There's alot of things I have that I didn't BUILD , that I'm proud of. If I had time to build a plane I would, but as I am a truck driver I don't have time to build. Sat and Sun are the only days I have off. 12 hour days really make it hard to build anything.

I took pride in trying to set my H-9 Sukhoi up with the best gear I could afford and get it to fly the very best I can make it fly. Can I not be proud of that?

When people not in the know tell me I have a beutiful plane, I say thanks. If they ask me if I build it, I say I assembled it. Can I not be proud of that too?

Maybe when I retire in 35 more years I will have time to build, but until then I will be proud of my ARFs
