It just goes to show you that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

It's true that I used to be an ARF basher, but ARF's used to be (and in some cases still are) real crap. Over the years, while I've been tucked away in the boonies, several companies have really been producing some fantastic models. And after seeing a few of them, I've had to eat my own words.

Personally, I still prefer to build, and I encourage others to do so. But if you CAN'T, or (like in Swagger's case) time is an important factor, getting in the air is the most important thing.

But, IMHO learning to build is also important. So get the ARF now, and start building your second plane once the weather gets cold.
