I just finished covering mine. It has no trim or hardware installed just yet. The kit built OK, but be aware that the plans for the wings do not match up too exactly. I was warned about this before I started by another builder who loves his and told me not to worry about it. Just use the plans to locate the wing ribs, and the rest of it takes care of itself. The cowl did get "trashed" as others have noted. Both my friend and I decided to do something different for the wing struts than the kit calls for. (I am beginning to wish I had stuck with the kit suggestions.) Getting the plywood to wrap around the top of the fuse between the cockpit and the nose was more of a hassle for me than simply planking it. All in all a nice looking plane when you're done, and my friend really likes to fly his (although he added ailerons to the top wing as well as the stock ones on the bottom wing). Good luck, Dzl
