I dont want an RTF!!

by Stuart
(Warwick, England)

OK, so I'm interested in getting an rc plane. Have owned and built RC cars since I was about 8 yrs old.
90% of the fun for me is building the kits and painting them! So why cant I seem to find any planes that are like this? If I do they seem to be for advanced pilots only??
RTF is advertised as a bonus but its not what I want - I want to build it! :o) Any suggestions or advise is welcome.

RTFs aren't for everyone!

Your thoughts are perfectly justifed Stuart!
I love the building as much as flying, it's just that RTFs have taken over in the last few years.
Sounds like you need a trip to your local model shop and see if they have any kits. Or there are plenty of model shop websites selling kits and plans.
RTFs may have taken over the hobby, but they haven't made kits extinct.... yet!! :-)
