Boy can I relate to this. My first Kit was/is a Something Extra. By all accounts this plane is a straight forward build. I started in February of last year and am "almost" finished. When I lost interest, I would hang it up and sooner or later I would come around to wanting to build. In the interim, I build several ARF's just to keep me in the air. This had a big affect on my progress. I was building, just not the kit. Well, about a month or two ago, I said, this WILL get finished, and over the last several weeks I have progressed to where I have just the aeleron servos to install (will do that today), finish up painting the wheel pants (also today), balancing and radio programming. For my first kit I am pleased on how it came out, and I really learned alot along the way. I have a SIG Hog Bipe kit in the wings, and will probably start this Fall. Also to build/assemble, a U-Can-Do 46, an Ultra Stick lite, and a Tower Voyager (just because). I know the bipe will go the same way as the SE, but in some areas, doing it once will certainly speed up the process. Basically I build when I want and don't when I run out of steam.
