The Sig SE was my first kit, and except for having the radio and engine installed (had all the holes drilled), It took less than a week from start to covered and awaiting final installation. Mine flies great and has survived about 150 foot drop from the sky, without any damage (pancaked in about 3' weeds). Once tuned down it is nice and stable, flip to high rates, and its awesome. I left mine stock, and if I do build another, I'll probably do some of the recommended changes.
