I also see a lot more people looking into kit building. They get tried of arfs and want to build something different or get into the hobby more... Kit building is the way. I seen 3 members of my club that have been flying for years, build their first kit this year.

I dont mind ARFs tho. My dad who is almost 70 isn't the builder he used to be. A couple of Goldberg ARFs had him flying all summer.
