Hey, Jim...

Settle down, buddy. No need to spike your blood pressure...

I know this isn't supposed to be a kits vs ARF thread, but I couldn't resist...

As a kit-builder who also is one of those "unwashed masses who lug an ARF out to the field", I can tell you that some of these ARFs today are built & covered as well as you or I could do. Lots of traditionalists refuse to believe that, but its true.

I would welcome the return of kits in general, but I just don't see it. We're hearing now that even the big-time kit producers like Sig are having trouble getting decent balsa.

I wish I had done like Walter and started looking for certain vintage kits years ago. The prices here and on eBay have gotten totally out of the box. I don't even look anymore, its so depressing...[&o]
