I built my Bubble Dancers when I had the time and did not have the money. In addition, I have always loved building models. It was a great experience.
Arguably I still have the time. After all I am retired. But my first priority has always been to compete. And to compete seriously means to practice seriously. And to compete seriously means that you have to be, to some extent, indifferent as to what might happen to the "tool" your are flying with. Notwithstanding that the ARF's we fly are just flat our better built than the home brews most of us make, it is just easier to look at a broken pile of carbon, kevlar and ultracote and pick up the phone and get another than it is to take the object of hours of labor back to the shop and put in more hours to come up with a heavier, uglier plane. So even with the time a retired guy supposedly has on his hands, I have voted with my wallet to buy and fly my competition planes and, in the chill of winter, to build fun stuff.
