I am finishing up 2 Jack Stafford Aircoupe's,
The kit quality is excellent, the plans do need some work but if you have experience building some kits you can think your way thru it without too much trouble. I found the quality of wood to be excellent in both kits except one piece of sheeting that was warped a little, could have been used but I had extra sheeting available.
Steve at JSM is a very nice guy and will help you out with anything you need, the customer service from JSM is #1. The planes look very nice(see my thread in this forum) and should make for very nice Sunday flying planes.
The kits come with the basic hardware ie:control horns,landing gear, screws etc: You need to purchase the control rods of your preferance as well as hinges. Most experienced modelers tend to scrap out kit supplied hardware and use what they are familiar and comfortable with.
I would not hesitate to purchase another JSM Kit.
