When I started, I built my first 12 airplanes and got great satisfaction from the good ones and not so much from the ones I built a little crooked. The "good" ARFs of today have made me appreciate good, straight and light construction techniques that make them fly great. What I miss is the feeling I got as I saw the aircraft taking shape and ultimately flying. ARFs are here to stay but I will always have one on the building board just so I can say, "I built that"
