I just dont have the room or time to build the Patriot and I dont have the covering skill to cover these planes
That to my mind is so sad. If you put an hour a night on the plane it will be done in a couple of months. Covering is not insurmountable if you have someone to show you how. Building for me is half the joy to the hobby. I wish you would reconsider, if not there are a lot of good builders out there.

PS I built my first models on a card table covered with a 3/8 pane of glass from an old B/W TV set. You don't need much room.
