I got back into the hobby a couple of years ago and did the ARF thing, but after realizing that they are being built by people the have really no clue about how it should be built from a modelers needs I decided to go back to building ( spent to much time reglueing and not knowng what is under the covering is just scary). I have come up with some nice small companies that are selling just the short kits as well as full kits to a lot of nice planes from beginner to advanced, some older planes and some new designs.

I think that some of the companies that are putting out ARF's should try putting out a short kit with plans and fiberglass and see how many they would sell verses the ARF, it may be a bit of a supprise to them.

I am going to be building an older pattern design this winter along with a Weeks solution for an 85cc motor, I have the kits and the qulity is excellent.

Ther are companies selling the Kaos, Super Kaos and other Bridi designs along with the Qwick Fli, King Altair and Taurus among others that are excellent kits.

Let me know if I should post a list.
