Default Is this the right forum for PNP and RTF?

Is this the right forum for PNP, BNF and RTF planes? It seems that all of the discussion is around ARF's. I'm strictly an "Instant Gratification" guy and have given up on ARF's and Kits.

Typically, those classifications apply to molded foam aircraft. I don't know if it's a case of where they belong as much as your response rate might be higher in the section focusing on electric foamies.

Don't give up on building planes, however. The gratification isn't instant, but it lasts a lot longer and the lessons learned are invaluable.

Yes, the RTF planes today are electric and they are foam. ARF's are either balsa, foam, fiberglass,carbon, etc...
RCU should probably remove the "RTF" from this form title and add it over in the Electric/Foamy forum. The last RTF balsa plane that I know of was last made many years ago by H9 (P-51 PTS).
