Building vs Kit
Ok, this is off topic from what was already being asked at the beginning, but I see the thread already got off topic at least once [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
It's about building a Kit vs ARF. I just now got into the hobby, and have yet to fly a single plane (besides a 4 minute buddy system flight with an instructor). When I was looking at what to buy, I was told that it was cheaper to buy ARF, and even better because you could get into the air as quickly as possible. The thing is, I'm not really excited at the idea of just buying a nearly finished plane and flying that. I'm currently building my kit, and it's taking me ages, but that's the great part. I'm really enjoying the building aspect!
Yes, a kit might be more expensive, especially since you still need to spend time to build it, but for me, I find the ARF to be more expensive in a certain way: You lose the enjoyment of having to build it from scratch!
As for the original point of this thread: I like that idea: building someone a kit and charging him a kit. It's original!
