Default What is your favorite kit building task?... your least favorite?

I have embarked on my 2nd kit. It is a 4* 120 and I can't wait to get to the radio and linkage installation. That is my favorite task in the building process!!!! My second favorite is fabrication of parts/ideas, that I think will help strength or appearance. I had a post out there about a cowl for this plane. I decided to do my own. I will post pictures in a few weeks. I actually used the original cheeks, turned the Saito on it's side, (after making the right cheek removable, and cutting out for engine cylinder etc.).... I then "filled in" the top area with a shaped block of balsa that is also removable. Sanding stuff in general, is my least favorite. Although I do like filling dents with spackle and smoothing them out. (weird aren't I ??) .... lownslo
