Default RE: top flight cessna 182

Whats the point of spending all that money to ahve it look like cr@p?
And I'm sure that's why I have 250 hours into mine at this point.

I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist myself, and here's an example of the way I look at these things. The Top Flight Cessna kit has internal linkages to the tail control surfaces; there is no provision for accessing any of the control linkage in the tail once the fuselage is finished, and that just didn't make sense to me. So, I very carefully constructed a small access hatch in the aft end of the fuse.

They also give you the option of using standard wing tips or Horner tips (which are undercambered). Of course the Horners take a couple of extra hours of sanding in order to make them right, but what's the point of NOT making them?
