I'm a builder, and as such, can fix my own plane, know how it went togehter..

58% (41 people of 70) said 'build', yet the 'industry trend' is towards ARFs..
And teh manufacturers listen to....

(Sorry, just a gripe, that there are more and more ARFs and less and less kits (Percived trend, shared by others..) )

Jetts,

Do you like your Kavalier? I'm building one now and am choking on all of this balsa dust!
Yes, but Lik(ed) is the operative word here, that plane was history 10 years ago!

I'm a builder, and can repair anything I can trash, just that these days, I'm building big planes too, and don't have time for all this building!

There is nothing like flying a plane that you Built, The attention to detail shows up in the air.

Ive seen folks with arf's out at the field sticking different colored stickers and such things on their planes so they could tell them apart, seldom do two plane built by different people look exactly the same.
