Holy smokes just got my MK3 in the mail 2 weeka ago and to tell you the truth I am thinking of having someone at the club build it for me. They say 90% ready but this bird is far from it. Either that or 90% overseas isn't what it is over here. I've built over a dozen ARFs and they all went together in a few days(or less). It took me 2 days to figure out the instuctions. You get a color shot of the step and a simple verb for application, i.e. "paste", "screw'," put in place", etc.. After 168 steps your done but geez It's just not what I'm used to.
I've built 4 World model kits that had 6 page manuals w/out plans and had no throuble, this kit is a lot worse.
The foam wings are also a first for me and the aileron linkages give me pause. The kit seems to be of highest quality, I just don't know how I'm gonna get it together. I would hate to screw up a major step then have to order parts and wait. It's not like my LHS or even not so LHS carries anything for this kit. If I ever get it together I think it's gonna be a real gem but for now its still packed in the box w/ a Saito 100 sitting on top...
