RE: Kit vs Arf
You are absolutely right about finding the time to do what you really want to do. Right now i am not concerned with finding the time to build, i have other priorities that are more important. however once my kids are through their minor hockey career (which is something i really want to be involved in ... coaching and such) then i will find the time to build as i really enjoy it and like you said nothing can compare to the satisfaction of seeing a plane in the air for the first time that before you got to it was just a pile of sticks. I will eventually build a WACO but that is a ways off yet.
