Mike I agree with what you are saying. I started out with 1/2A control line planes then went to larger control line planes later to go to RC each new type of plane was a challenge. Every plane a person builds help them understand the next plane. I think ARF are perhaps the easiest to build, however I can build and assemble a scratch built foam plane for electric in a very short time and even install the radio. But with many of them you only glue 10 = 12 peaces together sometimes less.But the electric is another story. This is always a learning process. After building for more than 40 years there are still questions I would have with some planes. Jets and helicopters are a different story again. When we talk about how easy it is to build what many of us mean is it is easy to build, easy to build airplanes
