I don't see why they can't offer them as an ARF and a Kit. They have to make kits for the ARFs anyway, so just divert some of those "kits" and box them up. Is that too difficult or what? Seems to me they would be filling another market instead of just letting it fall by the wayside. Granted, they will probably sell more ARFs, but don't the kit builders count? If it weren't for all the kit builders over the past years there wouldn't be any r/c airplane hobby to begin with. The way things are going in 10-15 years it will be nothing but plans built aircraft for me, because there simply won't be any more kits.
