The wood in my kit was really quite good and straight and I was pleased to be building from another set of Joe Bridi drawn plans (I've always fancied old school engineering drawings) The biggest weakness of the kit in my opinion are the instructions. The kit would benefit greatly by re-done instructions tied into appropriate build pictures ala many of those we're familiar with Great Planes, Sig, Skyshark, BTE to name but a few I'm most familiar with.
