True, many are expert builders, but of course many aren't as well. Those are the amateurs I'm speaking of. I'd prefer those guys flew ARFs. As for the ARF manufacturers, perhaps I'm just lucky, but mine are all perfectly built...especially my CG Senior Falcon which is flawless inside and out! I have inspected it quite thoroughly and believe me, I'm picky (Type-A to the 3rd power)!

If they fly nothing but ARF's they will never attain the expert level of building.
