Default RE: Is Building Comming Back?


ORIGINAL: Balsa Master

in my oppinion im compleatly for the end of ARF and RTF planes.
Thats a mighty strong opinion, but you are welcome to have it. In my not-so-strong opinion this would do nothing but drive people away from the hobby who would not build a Plane if that was the only option there was. They would just find another hobby, and to me that would mean me losing alot of good flying buddies at the field. I would really like to see more interest in kit building for my own selfish reasons, but you sure can't force someone to take interest by robbing them of what they love and prefer! All ARF's are not Flimsy Junk in my opinion either. I own a VectorFlight Edge 540 ARF that was built much nicer and to a higher standard than anything I have ever built. I really love to build, and I feel I do a pretty good job, but to say that I could do it better than any ARF Manufacturer out there would be a pretty far stretch! The ARF's are here to stay! My only hope is that more people would take interest in building kits so that aspect of the hobby does not dissapear, or become extremely limited in variety! Just my .03 cents worth................
