I've also made mention a few times around various posts how annoying an ARF assembly thread is when it's labeled a build. I must admit however, that I do have an ARF in the hangar, a Tower Trainer. I would have built a trainer from a kit (and will probably build a Sig LT at some point), but really didn't want to have to gather up the build from the table and find somewhere to store it's various parts out of harms way to build the trainer. Plus the Tower was $69 bucks. I enjoyed making a new rudder from left over kit material (1/4" Hard Balsa leading edge to give the hinges something to bite with the rest being 1/4" balsa plank left over from a Skyshark FW190) as the thin stock rudder didn't lend itself to accepting the Robart hinges and having sufficient material for the hinges to anchor in to. Had I never started kit building a few years ago I never would have had the confidence to make any kind of modifications or remake something more to my liking. I only wish I had started kit building when more kits were available and the industry wasn't shifting toward ARFs. Luckily we still have a few hold outs and some industrious hobbyists with lasers who take it upon themselves to provide us with the box of wood.
