Absolutely raindav ... I've seen models at the field that I don't particularly care for, although it's not my place to judge anyone. I appreciate the person just being out there flying - the difference between us, I personally don't recognize whether it's a run of the mill ARF, a recovered ARF, or a handcrafted A/C. They're all unique, and at the field for the same reason I'm there - to fly. You've got time to build and that's your enjoyment, go for it, I barely have time to get an ARF together, but I have other life priorities that come first. My reason to be in this hobby is different than those I've ranted with - I like to fly and not build. Although, I can find just as much appreciation for a good flyer as you may find for a good builder. Good luck and happy flights.
