I have a few locals that build some for me. Some do great work at a reasonable price-- some do not! I will not do the internet thing again! I got burned real bad by a builder here on RCU. He quoted a price and I paid it-in advance- paid to ship the plane to him-and gave him money for accessories- he kept it a year and 7 months along with all of my equipment. I finally got it all back-(less my money)- but still unbuilt and since I don't have time to build. I just sold it for what I could get out of it--IOW-not much. He is not a bad person, just somebody who bit off more than he could chew. Bottom line is this--It does take a long time to construct a kit-- especially if the work is of high quality. I ALWAYS GET A QUOTED PRICE UP FRONT! BTY--That is why ARFs are so popular these days.
