Here is a nice guide on all the different acronyms and what they mean. This is helpful to new pilots that might be confused by all the different terms like BNF, PNP, ARF, RTF, etc. http://www.rcsailplanekits.com/rc-plane-acronyms/

Boy for new pilots that is quite a list....We really need a smaller list with the bare essentials to start...That is an awsome list for pilots that want to expand their knowledge of RC acronyms..There is no way I could ever hope to rember all of them...I think beginers need a smaller list telling them about ARF's and PnP's etc etc. ..Thats just my opinion...
