You're not kidding - I'm building their Trainer 26 (my first kit - see the the build thread) and the manual could use a lot of improvement. Fortunately the guys at AMR are easy to reach for clarification. The kit has been a pleasure to build.

I'm looking forward to pictures of your wing.

I'm starting to change my tune and lose patience with this kit. Besides the typos and inaccuracies in the manual, I'm finding that most of the hardware supplied with the kit is the wrong size. Mainly the socket head screws that hold all the attachement brackets for the wing struts. Very frustrating.

Yes, I noticed inconsistencies in the supplied hardware too. I just take what I need out of the my stores and store what I don't use.

I do as well, but I had to order 1" socket head screws. I didn't have any and no hardware stores by me carried them either.
