RE: ARF, kit, or both?
Sure Ray , you can assume that newbess into RC with less then 5 years will answer , ARFs as there main intro to Rc , you can also assume that Rcers at lets say 40 plus started with kits because that was our best option and now have moved to arfs and kits because the quality has gotten so good in arfs , now if you add age into the mix , every RC survey has unfortunitly proven that is still is not attracting enought youth to the sport (that is changing big time ) but was the case .
You can actually post age with many ansewers
I bet the kits to arfs gang is 40 plus
I bet the arfs only gang spans many more ages younger to older limits
Again , not trying to spoil a fun post , someone menthion that manufactures should read this , well part of what I do is consumer survey in the food industry and this poll is great but it also reveals so many changes in this industry
I fly mostly WW2 , I would never think of an ARF , but in the last 5 years the ARFs are nicer and more cost effective then many kits . Just look at the resale valus of a Giant scale Kit vs a new Giant scale arf , the cost of the kits (if not rare ) is way down
