Proud of an ARF? I don't think I could be so pretentious.

I started building kits back in the 60's and did so all my life until recently. I did build one ARF when I was in the service in the 70's and it was a POS, but I didn't have time or building space to build anything good.

For many years after that I was an ARF Basher, but a few years ago some guy brought an Aresti out to our field. I was pretty impressed, and decided to do a little research into the ARF world. The more I saw, the more I was impressed with the Quality of today's ARFs.

Since I started doing reviews for RCU I have seen Building better than I can do myself (And I'm a very good builder).

But it still comes down to this:

Flying is a Sport - Building is a Hobby

I enjoy spending free time down in my shop gluing, sanding, covering, etc. And for as long as I have time and money for a hobby, I will continue to build. Bit if I didn't have the time, or if I didn't LIKE to build, I would have no problem flying some of the teriffic ARF's that are on the market today.
