Yes, I have stated my opinion! However, all it is, is MY opinion and the world never has paid much homage (let alone even attention) to what I think!

I have ARFs, I like them and they certainly have a place in my R/C hobby. I also build from scratch and build kit airplanes and love this aspect of the hobby more then the flying! However, I just feel there should be one venue in the hobby where the "builder of the model" is King! Traditionally, this has been scale, so I ask why can't this continue?
