Default RE: dear sig mfg

Volfy,
I totally understand about the economics of the kit/ARF pricing. I can't speak for other builders out there, but when I build a kit the price isn't my biggest concern. Last summer I dumb thumbed my Sig Something Extra and re-kitted it. If I was looking at economics I would have just bought the ARF version of the SSE to replace it, but instead I purchased a kit knowing it would cost me more to build that instead of doing the ARF. I build because I enjoy the process of building. Also, I don't mind paying extra so that my plane doesn't look like 10 others at the flying field. I may be the odd man out with the way I feel, but that's the way I look at it.
