Kits and ARF's. I don't judge. It's all relative. A guy building a stock manufactured kit can't carry the relative jock strap of a true master scratch or scale builder. We all climb the same mountain in this hobby - the summit is the same for everyone, but we take different routes based on our talents and the situation life gives us.

I've built more airplanes from kits than I've bought ARF's. I only have one kit built airplane left, the rest of my flyable models are ARF's. I have one kit on the bench that keeps me motivated in the hobby - and my ARF's keep me having fun in the sport of flying.

It's all good. I celebrate whatever is brought to the field to fly.
