L-19 Bird Dog
I have built three planes from Great Planes that had good instructions with pictures along the way.
I recently spent $200 on a kit from Jack Stafford models. I was over whelmed when I opened the instructions booklet. There are vertually no pictures along with the instructions. More or less, it just says, "go to it".
I ordered this kit mainly because the picture of the plane really is impressive to me and it is also scale. The author states that it is an easy build, but I don't see where that thought comes from.
Has anyone built this particular model from Jack Stafford models? Just wondering if they experienced the same problems. I am terribly concerned that I might think that I got something done right on it, glue it in and then find out that I did it wrong mainly because they didn't show any pictures with the instructions like many other companies do.

RE: L-19 Bird Dog
We are currently updating the L 19 instruction manual to include pictures of the step by step building process. It is not ready for publication at this time but should be in the next 4 weeks. However, until then we would be glad to send you a CD with approximately 90 pictures outlining the building process.
Please let us know if that will help and we will get that to you immediately.
Thank you.
