The wood and cutting was good but that's about it. I feel that no one should have to try and figure out what was in the designers head when he did it. Yes, Emil will answer your questions and that's good but don't disagree with the way he does something, don't ask how I know this. 
His comment was to go and take some drafting classes, sorry but I have 2 years of drafting and said that the way he did things, well on this one kit made absolutely no sense, oh well, never will buy another one anyway.
Not to mention the exorbitant cost of these Ikon
kits. I bought my first and last kit from them
about 4 1/2 years ago, which was the Waco UPF-7.
There was missing balsa, unfinished (not formed)
piano wire landing gear, and cabane struts not
formed to correct shape.
