JUST TO CLARIFY.....the point I was trying to make in my previous post was that ARF'S are not built and I hate to see reviews or discussions where it is reffered to in those terms. I know it is just a word and not used in a bragging manner but now a days you can just shell out a few bucks and have a beautiful plane. I have been in this hobby long enough (20 years) to have witnessed the transition from all of us being RC modelers, to the current mostly RC flyers and a few RC modelers.

I am not bashing ARF's (they are good and here to stay) but just want to keep alive the awareness that there are a lot of excellent builders out there who can create some beautiful "one of a kind every day flyers". Besides that, it can actually be enjoyable and therapeutic to work with your hands to create something.......
