I am relatively new to this hobby and am not the greatest ARF builder. I like the assortment of electric PNP's available, but I wish there were more nitro PNP planes available. Does anyone else feel the same way? I began flying many of the Parkzone electric planes, but I have been hooked on nitro ever since I purchased a Tower 40 RTF.

Most of the ARF's are pretty intuitive and some of them are just plain simple. Some, though can require some previous assembly experience. But, most of the glow ARF trainers are pretty easy to put together and are great to fly.
I recently bought a Hanger 9 Alpha trainer to use as a "club trainer" but fly often fly it as a sort of "step back and relax" sort of plane. But, I find that there are some basics of RC flight that the more advanced planes sort of take for granted that the trainers bring us back to. So, I use it both as a reminder of the basics of RC flight as well as a club trainer.
With that said, this plane was easy to assemble and flys just fine. "It's so easy even a cave man can do it"....
Many folks, like Gary, will not go near an ARF, and I admire that. I just don't have the time to dedicate to building a kit as much as I would love to. Perhaps after I retire (again..
