I have bought several kits from him. He is very reliable. Prices may seem high, but Japanese professional builders were getting $2500+ for built pattern ships in the '80s. The prices have escalated significantly since then. 2 meter Oxai airplanes are typically in the $5,000 range and those are factory built. Naruke Hobbies will build you an Ascent (Naruke's latest design): ARC - $2400 US dollars;
RTF - $5300. Shipping is extra. Other Japanese builders charge more (7-10,000 for all wood airplanes) IF they will build for you.
The Ten Plus Aurora (factory built back in the early '90s) cost $1,000.
