Mike,
There was no valid reason to repost the same post from another page.
1.If you read the thread this was supposed to be a POLL.!.2 But since everyone wanted to make it a discussion,I added my 2 cents.
I said many out there can't build for many different reasons.
Number 1 is no time and the RTF planes are the same as some ARF but cheaper.
Maybe some don't like the trainer type that you do.
There are many RTF planes flying and still selling good.
Like any other item when you open the box you may or may not have damage.
A father can drop $300.00 and in one evening make the adjustments and go flying with his son the next day.
Relax and look at the other side of the coin.
I noticed that only a hand full called RTF planes JUNK.
Just because you build an ARF doesn't make you better then any one else in the hobby.
Maybe you would like to itemize what is JUNK on an RTF plane?
Ask a young Girl or Boy if their having fun flying their JUNK RTF.
Before you call it junk though better look at that big smile on their face and thats what's more important then anything else.
Their having a blast because the plane you call JUNK is up their doing loops and turns and some unexpected maneuvers.
