I think alot of guys fly arfs. For whatever reason. I think if they are gonna spend enough to buy an arf they will buy something that appeals to them. I love profiles. I have two. I plan on more. I build them from plans. I don't think they are the best looking planes on the flight line. I build and fly them for performance. I think most guys who fly profiles are interested in performance first. Also most of the guys at the club (my club ) like scale and warbirds. I don't like to just fly in circles.

Good luck.
