As stated many times, ARFs bring the "I gotta have it now" and the "I don't have time to build" guys into the hobby. 90% of them won't last long. Some do though and turn out to be great flyers. Some even build eventually. Its all part of the hobby. I have been stockpiling kits for about 10 years. Its a good investment. You won't lose money on them. Buy the ones you are interested in, hold on to them, and then build one now and then, or sell them later for something you want more. I keep a lot of Goldberg Shoestrings. I buy just about every one I see. Never lost money on one and have sold at least ten over the years at substantial profit. It pays for other planes. There are a lot of hard to find kits like that. You just have to know what to pay for them and be able to store them for a while. That in itself is a fun part of the hobby.
