emilsanto, yes the parts for the Astro-Hog were all cut out of balsa and plywood by me using my old Dremel Moto-Shop saw. Most SIG kits are "glorified" plan builds anyway (and I mean that in a nice way) so the information for building is there on the plan for you to use. I've included some photos I just took in the shop of the framed, dry-fitted, Astro Hog to give you an idea of what you can do. If you have a couple of builds (not ARF models) under your belt you can most likely scratch build, though I'd shy away from the Astro Hog Bipe as a beginner scratch project. There's a lot of work involved and the rewards can be a great flying RC model that you constructed yourself from a pile of wood. The photos will show you what can be done without a kit. I made this plane into the taildragger version and did order the wire gear from SIG.

Soft landings,

Joe
