I've started construction of the stagger wing. Building on the 2x6 stands is an idea I borrowed from the large scale guys. They aren't particularly precise but the directions seem to assume that you are building this thing in mid air. There are two notched side formers that the bulkheads key into such that once you begin the fuselage it doesn't lay flat on the plans. The cleanliness of the die cutting on this kit is excellent. The plywood parts come out of the sheets cleanly and easily.The accuracy of the cuts is pretty good but it necessary to square up some of the slots to get a correct fit for the parts. Not a big deal if you notice it ahead of time and clean the slots up with an x-acto knife. One thing that could catch an inexperienced builder out is that some of the parts are mislabeled. Two of the formers in the cockpit area F4 and F5 are labeled in reverse. This prevents being able to assemble things until I figured out what was wrong. There were several other parts that were stamped with the wrong part number. I will be deviating from the plans in some regards. The plans show a three channel plane with lots of dihedral and no ailerons. I will flatten out the wings and add ailerons to the upper wing. This plane is standoff scale at best and without a major redesign of the lower wing and fuselage I don't see much way of doing retracts. Although it is a Staggerwing it doesn't really have the tadpole shape in the fuselage that housed the retracts. This design was intended to use rubber bands to attach the wings and I am going to update to bolt on wings.
