RCKen is doing detailed documentation to take some of the fear out of kit building. Just looking at the photos you can tell he is a master craftsman. I have built 2 kits. I am not a master craftsman. Fortunately you do not have to be a master craftsman to build a good flying plane. You do have to take your time to be sure it's straight and that you have good glue joints but it is not as hard as I thought it would be. I have flown one of my builds, a Great Planes PT-60 trainer. My instructor took the PT-60 up for the first time and it needed very little trim adjustment to fly properly. The other plane will fly this spring.
The point of this follow-up is just to say: don't be afraid to build a plane just because you've never done it. And if you do not have space, time, patience, or desire to build; most of the planes in my other post are ARF (almost ready to fly) models that take anywhere from a few hours to a few weekends to assemble.
