Yes, building is A thing of the past and the ARF is hear to stay. The good thing for me is I am now getting more ARF guys paying me to build A kit for them or assemble there new ARF. As long as they keep some nice planes as kit only I will still be building them for someone. My own planes are built from plans though and are always something different then you ever see at most clubs. I did buy one second hand ARF and it's A nice plane and I enjoy it, I don't think I would buy another one though unless the deal was too hot to pass on. There is just something lacking in them.
