A few years back I remember going to the local Hobby Store and seeing a ton of kits...then slowly these were replaced by ARF's.
Now instead of kits all there is on the shelf (except for one or two kits) are ARF's...North American magazines also lean almost exclusively towards the ARF market...I used to enjoy reading the construction articles in these mag's...Now I purchase Flying Scale Models (UK). I hope the trend shifts more to centre instead of being so lopsided...At least we can still purchase plans and building materials....and order kits (mostly on line)
There is something about the smell of real glue and epoxy compared to the fumes of CA.
