ARF's versus KIT's the saga continues
Jim, that IS cool.
I don't know about you guys but when I build a plane, a part of me goes into it. Beyond the literal cuts and scraps I get when building it I put in my own touches, part of my own personality and pride.
The difference between Built and ARF is most evident at maiden flight. I'm a bit nervous with an ARF but I'm almost sick when taking up a plane I've built. Likewise, I'm happy on an ARF's maiden landing but you could hook a generator up to me and power a small city when the plane that I built comes in it's first time, or second, or third... well it takes awhile to wear off.
