Ya--every thing you buy is that way---but I just wonder--ya know---all we are doing is buying a plane that a person built for us, only it was a assemb. line instead of a single guy. I personally would rather build my own, that way i know its done right and not done by some people i dont even know much less never meet. plus--i have fun building and learn. no if only i could get a kit build it, and then have it covered--I hate covering.
