Have flew all three .Kits , ARF's and rekits[X(] . My problem was not if it was a arf or kit ,it was to much fun rebuilding!!! After going through about 20 (ARF's,Kit's,ReKits) I found out I like to build but I will still buy a ARF and it will most likely be an electric because I cant build that light .About the poll ,my first plane was used so would that be classed as a arf ?
