The rant is what terms we now see in magazines in the articles writen by what are supposed to be RC pros/writers. No one cares if you are flying an ARF or not. I'm pretty much one of the only builders in the group I fly with. No one really cares, we are all having fun. That's a non issue. The issue for me is having a writer using terms like kit and building when reviewing an ARF. On the same token I have seen this brought up when someone is using the term scratch building when someone is talking about plans and kit building. Scratch is drawing and designing your own plane/plans. I try to keep this straight myself because I build from plans and kits, been a lot of years sense I designed and drew my own plans for a plane. I try to always say plans instead of scratch but I do slip up once in a while or I will say scratch/plans. Doesn't mater to me a lot though because I gave up on todays magazines unless someone gives me a stack to read.
