Me trolling? No, not really. Just making the point that there are extremes to be enjoyed in this hobby.

I've built kits, assembled ARFs, built from plans, designed scale models using three views, and designed my own planes. In all of these experiences I've had varying degrees of success. I find building, whether from my own design or from a packaged kit to be most enjoyable.

I've been disappointed with every ARF I've ever seen. That's not to say that ARFs are bad, and of course, some are much better than others. It's just that I've never seen an ARF that I would consider to be up to my standards if I had built it from scratch. Needless to say, my way of doing things is the correct way of doing things
