Who's cutting the kit for you? Did they tell how long it would take? That will be a HUGE biplane when you're finally finished with it!
I'm going to build an Ag Cat, too, from Fitzgerald plans. The original 90'' ws version. I priced a wood kit for the Ag Cat from a popular kit cutter online and I thought the price was a little too way up there for what I was getting. All wood for construction....not a hint of hardware. I think I'm going to scratch build this.
I'm currently working on a short kit of a Piper Pawnee and cutting all the wood needed to complete it has got me in the mood for scratch building something else and I think I'm up to the challenge.
