RE: Do we need better defined categories?
The poll options are formed in an obviously biased manner: either we agree with the 1st option, or we are:
1) Lazy
2) Fearful of change
3) Apathetic
4) Unsure of our reason for existance
5) Think there is nother better than ARFs
Should have added:
None of the above: why fix it if it ain't broke?
OR, I like ARFs AND kit built/ scratch built warbirds
A warbird is a warbird, be it from an ARF, kit, or scratch built.
Some ARFs are vastly inferior to some kit built/ scratch builts, but other ARFs are vastly better (in looks. structural integrity, and flying traits) than some kit built/ scratch built warbirds.
And, as others have mentioned: what about all the kit bashing/ modifications going on with ARFs. Some are putting more work into an ARF than others do a conventional kit, and with the results to justify it.
Can't agree with any of the options offered, so I won't vote.
