For the record, I was not, nor ever suggesting that this company was "shorting" the kit by any means. Deep in my heart I felt it was more along the lines of....thses kits are supplied with enough wood to build with probably very little left over, and if it is built without paying attention closely to pieces used and when, that it would appear to be short. Heck I have built that way in the past and thankfully kits to this point have had more then enough wood to allow for my errors.
I think thats how they can keep a great kit priced so good. No frills, and no waste. As easy is this kit sounds to build, I think it will no doubt take me the same amount of time to build, as any kits I have built to date. I plan on building it slow, smart, and I plan on putting in the effort to make the finished product look as good as I possibly can.
Without even having the kit in my hands yet (its shipping today) I plan on ordering thier Yak-54 before the month is over. Theres just something about that plane that caught my eyes and wont let go.
I am sorry to anyone who thought I was dissing this company, cause that was not my intent, my intent was to maybe to make other people aware that there is not the normal supply of wood that one might be acustom to, and building habits should be watched closely.
I have what I Consider plenty of scrap wood around to more then make up for any mistake I will no doubt make while building this plane, as well as any mods that I feel might make it more durable.
I know though that I MUST keep weight control in mind as well.
