Default Kit airplanes

Mike, Can you see a time when one of Horizon's airplane manufacturers will offer a kit or kits? I think there is still a strong-silent (albeit) minority of R/Cers who like to build model airplanes. In my club, which is small, I estimate 1/3rd of the members still enjoy building. Here on R/CU, the Kit Building-R/C Scale Aircraft-R/C Warbirds and Warplanes topics, are heavily trafficed and vibrant. This means to me building is still a popular part of this activity. With the reasonable prices Hanger 9 and Seagull are able to offer ARFs, I would guess offering kits would also be at attractive prices.

Don't get me wrong, I have ARFs (the majority of which are Hanger 9 and Seagull offerings) and am thankfull for them! However, I still love building and would love to see Horizon support this aspect of the hobby, also. Wha da ya think?
