I Love building but I don't hate ARF in general. About ten years ago their seemed to be a market for ARC (almost ready to cover) whatever happened to those.

For me that seems to be the most frustrating part about ARF's is that whenever I go to the flying field I always see 5 Cap's and they're all the same paint scheme. Why no put that back into the hands of the "modeler". Makes more sense to me. I'd love to go out and buy something like a Venus .40 if I knew that if someone else brought one it wouldn't look exactly the same.

The one thing that seems to be lacking here is anyone mentioning that almost no one at all builds from plans anymore. I've got lots of ideas and plans kicking around but have you seen the price of Balsa these days. At least up here it's horrendous.
