So the timing is the major gripe? I thought it would be the quality. I am ok with the wait, I had to wait almost a year to get a Mig from skymaster that was undamaged! Personally, I want quality. I am more than willing to pay more to get better quality. Unfortunately, the "quality" jet makers don't make the jets I want. I have a bobcat and a bandit, had a eurosport and rookie, BVM or CARF don't have any flavors that appeal to me right now. I wish we could pay a little more to get a kit out of asia that was built better. I don't have the time or skills to build a kit. I paid $5k for a kit (with gear) that needed extensive reinforcing, servo covers looked like they were for a different plane, new pipe, the gear was gorgeous, but only one of the three would cycle. Sent to down and locked for conversion. I haven't tested to see if all the gear door cylinders hold air.. that will be a crappy surprise if they don't. Someone's R&D comment above makes sense, but this jet is an older kit!

I'm a few years away from another jet kit, hopefully things will turn around by then!
