If any of you kit builders out there are worrying about the availability of kits, build something from a set of plans. It's NOT hard. All you really need is an exacto knife and some sandpaper to cut out the pieces. Start with something simple like an ugly stik or a Phil Kraft Kwik Fli. Canopies are available from Park flyer plastics for many plans and cowls can be either purchased from fiberglass specialties or made from scratch.

be warned though; once you build a plane from plans, it's hard to go back to kits.
