Chuck- My point with the "cheaper" thing was not to belittle folks who like arfs, it was not every decision should be be based on cost.
True, not every decision should be, and probably isn't. It certainly isn't for me, I've got all the building tools I need (nobody tell my wife I said such a thing). There's at least 10 rolls of covering in the cabinet. I've got several work benches. Even with all that, the majority of planes I've put in the air recently were ARFs. There's some nice ARFs out there and I just don't have the desire to build a similar plane from a kit.
I fully respect someone who chooses not to build because they simply don't like it. I think if you took a poll, you would find most afers haven't attemted to build anything.
Well, let's find out.
I just created a poll in the ARF forum. Let's see if we can get those ARFers thinking about adding some kits to their hangars. The poll is here:
