RE: Finally finished Herr Cloud Ranger
I agree, how can you be proud of something that you just bought off the rack? I go back prior to the BOM (builder of model) debate. It was assumed at one time that you were demonstrating your skill at building AND flying. It was a minor scandal at the time when word leaked out that some of the big names (with big $$$$) were actually hiring someone else to build there planes for them! Of course this before ARFs.
