Default RE: Kit vs Arf

How much is it worth to you to know that the airframe is assembled correctly, and that there is adequate glue (and the correct type of glue) in the joints. Did you know that there is a higher parts count in the kit built version? The ARF get's by with the absolute minimum of parts for speed of assembly. How much is the experience that you gained by building worth? There are lots more in the way of intangibles that I will not go into here, but enjoy the build, and don't worry about those who say that they have no time to build. You find time to do whatever you really want to do.
