.The other thing besides NOT being cheaper, is when you build your plane ,you can CUSTOMIZE it to your prefferances,ending up in a "ONE of a KIND" model.
You can do exactly that with an ARF as well. It is also very satisfying turning an ARF into something that no one else has.
Building models is fun -- regardless of what you start with.
.It kinda of takes the point of RF, out of ARF.I`m sure there`s satisfaction, in repairing an ARFs ,downfalls.NOT to cause argument but, building in my mind ,such as kit building,is actually fabricating the kits, parts, in to an airplane, and an ARF is just putting,the prefabricating assemblies together..I would say that,any thing done to an ARF, is basically a modification ,and it`s still a ,"COOKIE CUTTER"airplane thats,just being improvised on.I know from my experiance, the only thing that gives me more pride, than a kit build ,is a scratch build..It`s very personalized ,and priceless to me,though it does cost more.It`s something I wouldn`t feel from a ARF...D.B
