You know I have noticed that the kit vs ARF thing is starting to go away. It is becoming much less of an issue.

People can build ARFs these days and be very proud of the quality and we have to admit that some people just don't have the time or inclination to build and there is nothing wrong with that.

I started off with ARF's, tried a few kits and now have come full circle back to ARFs as I just can't invest the time required into a kit. (Work and young family! )

I think the biggest thing is that ARFs are becoming much better quality and much more widely accepted. So we don't have to apologize that we build ARFs anymore.

BTW thanks for being a moderator. I was one for a few months when this site first started and I know it is a thankless job.
