I have built a few kits but scratch building is not my forte. I modified a copy of my plans and sent them to Top Notch Products for laser cutting. I was amazed on how well the parts fit together. I guess they should but I kept thinking I was over looking a big mistake but that was not the case. I gathered up the wood and parts listed on my material list and set everything out to start building. I liked the carbon fiber spars on the Dust so well I put out the couple of extra $ to go that route.
