B_man,
I still stand by my recommendations about building this as a second plane. I do understand about getting the kit before they disappear. Nothing wrong with buying it and putting it up on the shelf until later on down the road when you have some more experience. I am an avid kit builder and I too see kits disappearing from the market. Because of that I will buy any kit that I feel I might be even slightly interested in. I've got quite a few kits stashed away on the shelves.
