<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt">I feel lucky to have decided to buy the JetMach Super Sport kit. Since there wasn't a lot of information on RCU about the airplane, I was a little hesitant to try it myself, but after calling Bob and getting a few questions resolved, I went for it.I got the kit this morning and have spent the better part of the day looking through the contents. I must say I am pleasantly surprised by everything I've seen so far.Bob, responded to my emails and even called me on the long line to talk about a couple of details before I got the kit. He cut my kit and mailed it within a couple of days of my payment. The slowest part was when the USPS let the kit set in Texas for 3 days to process the mail</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt">The wood is some of the best I've seen and the laser cutting is clean and appears very accurate even down to the smallest pieces. The plans show both wing lay outs to build over and are computer generated. So far I don't see any areas that might be difficult to assemble and there's room for the builder to use personal preferences and desired hardware. They kept it simple and the structure looks adequate.The retract installation looks conventional with doubled lite-ply and standard mounts, so good epoxy and a little triangle for insurance should hold things together well. Since I haven't started the build, I don't know the actual size of the fuel tank compartment but it looks large enough to accept standard tank sizes. I plan to use an 80oz min tank. The compartment is at the wing root so the tank will ride a little forward of the swept wing CG( something to keep in mind for first flight trim). Specific retracts or struts are not called out on the plans or manual but 3 inch main wheels are indicated. </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt">Bottom line All appears nice and I'm looking forward to assembly andflight when it warms a little this spring.</span></div>
