I'm a builder. Flying forces me to be one. [&o]

I have scratch built three planes in the last year and two kits and one (B)ARF. I just started an old Great Planes Super Aeromaster. I know that this is a discontinued kit, but I haven't had to mess with off sized stringer slots and miss cut pieces since the old 10cents Comet kits. I guess the 4*60 kits spoiled me. Every thing fit and it went together quite quickly. The Super Aeromaster is a different story. The design would be great if stuff were laser cut, but the die cut stuff is awful. Two identical formers that are not symetrical for example.

If most kits were like the 4*, I think you would see a lot more of them on the market because most people could build them. As most of them were like the Super Aeromaster, well you see the results.
