Hello,

Forgive me for being straight but I think that there are many narrow minded people in this hobby. I know some flyers who simply think that the ONLY way for a quality plane is through BUILDING from a kit. Infact, last week a patient of mine said that "I would never touch those ARfs with a ten foot pole!!!!". I explained to NO AVAIL that ARFs construction and quality have advanced so much that nowadays, they are as good as kit built. But he kept putting ARFs down as "no good, junk...". It is suprising but everynow and then, I keep hearing these narrow minded old timers saying bad things about ARFs. So the moral of the story is that if you think ARfs are bad, then think again. I think you will be treated to a rude awakening. I personally think that ARFs are wonderful as they allow me to fly a plane that does not take months to built. DP
