Why are they lacking on kits.. There is a HUGE selection of ARFs around but only a few amount of kits to choose from... Why cant they have a kit form for every arf they make... The people that build these arf must get it in kit form at the shop right?
If you look at an ARF you'll see it's made from a couple hundred little jigsaw like parts that are laser cut from light ply, the instruction manual would be a book. But the main reason is our instant gratification society, no-one wants to build a plane. If there is 100,000 modelers in the USA, if 5000 want to build I would be shocked.
What type plane do you like?
BE SHOCKED!!! WAY SHOCKED
And the reason arf's are cheaper than a kit is because it is a simple and very very easy way of putting an airframe togeather. Lazer cutting a kit is the easy way to build. Really don't need to read just fallow the numbers. Kind of like the old "paint by numbers" toys they had out.
