I also think that kit building is going to make a comeback. I sold all of my ARF kits just couldn't stand the quality, it seems every post about ARF's you read they are telling you to reglue this or that or this wing is breaking if flight or the gear is pulling out and not to mention the hardware that you have to throw away and replace. If you have to spend that much time to fix a built airplane to make it reliable to fly you could build it yourself and not have a cookie cutter plane at the field.

With the newer smaller companies making kits or short kits available for a lot of the magazine plans and re-do's of some of the older pattern planes (Quick Fly, Taurus etc) available for very resonable prices it is making building even more enjoyable.

There is something about the smell of real glue and epoxy compared to the fumes of CA.
