I took delivery of this kit a week or so ago. Box is nicely packed; wood quality as good as I've seen in any kit, qualifies at least as "very good." This is my first laser cut kit, and the parts with their cutlines look beautiful. I like the looks of the airfoil, from what you can tell by contemplating a rib (nice semi-symmetrical). Ribs have building board tabs, but I will make the wing on my jig.

I bought the kit after seeing a finished model fly at a local field. I didn't have a chance to talk to the owner/flyer, but it looked real boss sitting in the pit and flew as good as it looked. He built the clipped wing version. He didn't wring it out, but it did fly smooth and scale-like.

The kit is modeled on not the stock Taylorcraft, but on a full-size Taylorcraft which was modified to make it more aerobatic. The book includes instructions and the kit has parts for a longer wing (83-1/2" clipped, 108" long wing). The book runs 34 pages of instructions and photos, plus added sheets of parts outlines that could be scaled up for repair parts (ouch!).

The molded parts are ABS. Fiberglass would have been nice, but ABS is light and inexpensive, and glassing is always a builder option.

If you like a smooth, hot, scale high-wing, I can't imagine you would be disappointed with this kit.
