My advice to everyone that is into this great hobby is to build at least one kit. This does not have to involve the passion of flying any kind of model (Kits ARFs; RTFs; or AirHog toys).
Building a kit brings immediately a different point of view of what you are into; flying models could be only a glimpse of it.
I personally know many modelers that do not fly their models, I also know a lot of guys that fly ARFs like a dream, and for last there are some guys that build and fly what they built.
I feel respect for any of them but for some reason I always end up talking with the building guys.
This is a hobby and everyone have to get the most of it at their own expectations and if for some reason you are not having fun, then for sure you have missed the point.
