I like to say I'm a good builder... but then I get a ARF that's so bad I have to humble myself and say "I'm a Lower Intermediate Builder." Hope I helped.
The kit builders would say that if you put together ARF's you are NOT a "builder", merely an assembler... I seen this on many threads here...
As such there are indeed varying levels of experience, and some ARFs are best tackled by people with other ARFs under their belts.
Though by your sixth ARF you should be able to tackle most.
