Great. Well I hope this isn't a trend :P. I was going to wait until I get my work area setup to go buy the 4* kit. After reading the forums during my breaks at work, I couldn't take it any longer. On the way home, I stopped by the LHS and bought the kit. In the vein of "taking your time," I figure this allows me time to peruse the instruction book and plans and get comfortable with the resources you get in a kit.

Also, I can go through the Four Star build threads and "compare notes" with the provided instruction book and make some notes. Yes, I'm a dork. I over prepare for everything! Hopefully this way though, I will succeed when building my first kit.

Crap. I might be addicted if the build goes even HALFWAY decent ("decent" for a beginner that is). I would love to get to the point to do some scratchbuilding (perhaps a Wright Flyer eventually :P).
