I voted build and fly ARF's... I want to get cleared that flying ARF's when not having other thing to fly. I always built my planes, from kit or scratch and had a couple of ARFs. So disappointed with them. the quality, finish and durability has nothing to do with the kits. Actually I can't build because for now I have no shop, snif!! [&o]. Anyway, as soon as I can get a place to build I will follow up with the many planes I have partially build.
100% sure that I will keep building kits or scratch from plans. And glow too: the smell of gas and the sound are unique.
