It's not BUILDING it is ASSEMBLING. I have one, and when I went to assemble it, my biggest concern was whether I should change out of my office clothes or whether I could control the epoxy enough to keep it from dripping on my pants.

When I build, I have my building cloths on. They've got holes burned in them, hard epoxy spots, slivers of balsa and dust permenently adhered, CA spots (probably a little skin here and there on the back side), paint, dope, fiberglass....

Saying that you "Built an ARF" is like looking at your Chevy Impala with your neighbor after putting on the bra and fog lights and saying "Yeap, I built 'er myself!".
