Default The joy of kits!

I am new to this addiction, and have two ARFs and one pile of wood that was an ARF trainer. (Outgrew its capabilities and tried to make it do unnatural things for a trainer). While I have enjoyed assembling and flying these planes this past summer, I have begun building a Tiger2 kit and I LOVE IT! The feeling of getting up from the work table and see a sheeted wing there where a pile of wood lay a few hours before is unbelieveable. I hadn't planned on changing anything, but I have found it is fun to customize the plane as you build it. I enlarged the control surfaces on the rudder and elevator, made it to accept dual aileron servos, and changed it to a taildragger. I just bought a Midwest Extra 300 kit as my next project, and I cant wait to get started on it! Now my wife wont see me all winter either.
