The man in brown just dumped off a lanier cap 232 kit on my porch. Tower is selling em' for $129 and i've always wanted a cap 232 model.
I have built many kits over the years, but sheeting foam wings and stabs is something new for me. I have been reading up on this and I think I'm going the vacuum bagging route on this.
Overall, the kit doesn't look to bad for $129. The wingtube and gear are 6061-T6 and quite usable.
The instruction book has no pictures and looks to be for someone who has built a kit or two before, not great planes material here. Great planes have got instruction manuals down to a science IMO.
The wood looks to be of OK quality, the ABS cowl, and wheel pants are going in the scrap heap right off the bat.
I don't think I would have ever paid full price for a kit like this when I can get a WH ARF for a little more.

Now to decide on a engine, I have a 3W-50, a G-62, a moki 2.10, a Supertigre 3250. I have a cool 44cc RCS twin, but it will not fit in this 9 inch wide cowl, darn it was the engine I really wanted to use too[].
