Default RE: its building time

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">i'm forever finishing a sig Smith Mini-plane. most of that is stick built, but i did get a littleirritated while building the fuselage sides up and got the part of mounting the cowl. it didn'tfit at all around the bottom of the fuse and i had to cut and shave a lot of the wood away from the bottom corners of the fuselage to get it to fit. i was told they knew of the problem, but nothing has been changed in the plans to compensate for it, or a modification to the cowl. 'seriously...' i asked.'i'm sorry sir' was the response. some kits just leave a little to be desired. i think it's a conspiracy to make people buy a different kit/same brandto see if things are any better than the other. i guess i've been pretty lucky with the GP kits. never any problem with things not fitting, just poor wood sometimes, and one issue i had with one plane building 2 left wings. not sure how that one happened. i'm getting ready to start a TF P-51 gold edition. we'll see how that one turns out.

i have heard the SSE'sare great flyers, though. and a lot of fun.enjoy it.</span>
