I used to say the same thing about ARF, and wondered why they can't just sell the parts to make one to us kit builders. Then I spent some time talking to Don Anderson, Arthur Pesche, and several others in the industry and they explained why that wouldn't work. ARF's that are built in a factory differ drastically from the kits that we build. Mainly because in the factory that planes are built on a jig and the parts are designed such so that the person assembling the plane needs little to no skill at all. They just put the parts on the jig and apply glue. Unless we had the assembly jigs there is no way we could build with the same parts. And even if we did have the jig it wouldn't resemble any kit build that we're used to.

Although it's a nice thought to think about getting these planes into our hot little kit building hands!!!!!  . We can keep on wishing</p>
