count me as one who loves building either from plans or in some cases a kit.yeah once in a while you can find them.my gripe is that when you find a kit thats out of production the prices skyrocket.and I am not anti arf either as I have several my favorite being a ultrastick 60.no I didnt build it rather I assembled it.I too have no issue using that wording.I didnt construct it nor did I cover it.I simply put to wings together installed the motor and radio and flew it.you cant argue with simplicity .and if your a flyer not a builder thats fine too.I have a workshop time and tools and a passion to build.the planes I do construct are scale.I fly electrics too and have an absolute ball but building gives me therapy time alone in the shop .I can go in it with fresh coffee and enjoy cutting shaping sanding and just having a creative moment.sometimes ok a lot of times I get stuck but the challenge of solving that problem and finishing the bird gives me a real sense of accomplishment. many arf's are really good thesedays .I would rather have a bunch of guys flying at the field with whatever they built or assembled and have fellowship and just enjoy the hobby.
