Kits are great if you have the time. Many of us don't have the time or patience to build kits.
I applaud those people building kits and wish I had the time and patience to build them too. Maybe someday when I retire...yeah right!
Last time I checked, you had 24 hours in your day, just as the rest of us. It's what you do of significance with your hours that count. You like to fly more than you would like to be able to build. Fine, do what serves you best. Some of us would rather fly a one-off model than have several cookie-cutter planes that were built by someone else. Me, I would rather build and fly my scale models, than just fly something that some underpaid coolie in a Southeast Asian country built for me. To each his own. I'm just thankful that a few of you younger guys are interested. If you really want to catch the bug in a big way, come to Central Florida the end of April, through the first Sunday in May. Lakeland Linder Airport. You will get to see, "The Event". It's called Top Gun. Not an ARF in the bunch.
