Why do I build instead of purchasing an ARF? The reasons are I like to build, I like to build in modificaitons, and not that find the quality of an ARF lacking. I enjoy the challlenge and the sense of accomplishment from taking a bunch of pieces to a final product. I like to see my ideas work out and the plane have the look I was going for. I also enjoy taking a plane out to the field for the first time and showing it off. Yes that is mine, and yes I built it and yes I finished it. Thank you for the complement. I just don't feel I can attain that from an ARF and that is why I build.

I feel that if one just wants to fly an ARF is a great thing. I have nothing against that at all and here some day I may purchase and fly one becasue I am losing the time to build.
