what is really dimishing the hobby is younger people not getting interested. i am 27 and by far the youngest in the club i belong to. most in the club are over 50. here is the deal when you actually look at it there was a time where kits were a new thing and it was said that it dimishes the hobby. my trainer was an already assembled arf. i didnt become interested in building till later. and i would have not wanted to get into it if i had to build my first trainer. people for years have been saying that arfs are ruining the hobby. and i am sure that was said about kits as well. its not denial. i know people that like me got started with an arf and build now and people that assemble arfs that built thier first kit.

what documentation are you talking about btw. if its what the full scale planes looked like and the details that should never go away as long as there is the internet. i am not being argumentative just asking what you meant by that.
