Default RE: WHY DO YOU BUILT KITS?

Agreed, I think turbine flying has some unique constraints as opposed to prop driven aircraft. Many turbine aircraft need a large amount on internal fuselage room for engine and supporting gear which is substantial compared to a glow or gas aircraft. Because of this and the need for a structurally strong airframe, many of these aircraft are fiberglass or composite or have such complex curves they are difficult to model using traditional framing techniques.

I think jet jockeys have a lot more on their hands and in the shop than most guys flying something from V-Mar.
