RE: Addiction and Good Shot : patterns in wood
I just got my Addiction kit and I'm very happy with it. All the wood parts are laser cut; so the fit of each part should be excellent and assembly very easy. The wood quality seems excellent as is the selection of various 'weights' of balsa for appropriate locations. The canopy is very nice. The cowl and belly pan are well made and very light - I think CF as opposed to fiberglass. The kit includes a nice 550cc fuel tank and some other very good hardware. Full size plans, too.
I think it is well worth the price, but definitely a builder's kit. If you enjoy building then you'll be very happy with this kit. The airplane looks very well engineered. I think you can build this at less than 10 lbs finished with ease.
It will be a few months before I start building as I want to finish some projects and clean my workshop so I can do justice to the Addiction.
