So far in the last 8 months I have had 1 ARF, 1 RTF and 8 kits, 3 built and flying , 2 just about done and the other 3 are in different stages.
The ARF and RTS have been history for some time now. I didn't care for having the same plane as someone else and had very poor luck with them.
When I set my kit built planes up at the field , they seem to draw people to them. Which I really enjoy talking to and discussing building , flying. A lot of them fly ARFs and are interested in kit building and I try to encourage them. And a lot are builders, that have given me great advise. I just seem to get back more from my kits, and that's worth the time for me.
On the other hand, I going to order a Tower Hobbies Uproar .40 ARF or a Twist , as a learning fun plane. and want to spend my time flying and not building on a plane that more than likely is going to see hard times.
And then there are Bipes. I have the fuse and lower wing done on my Ultimate, but still one more wing to go. I`m burnt out on it for now . lol Wings seem to take me forever.
I just got the fuse and wing done on my 4*.40 and am installing the control linkages and servo mounting today and hope to have it together by the time our weather gets better.
Trying to do my part on kit building , I hope it comes back.
