Guys, you're sort of reinforcing my thoughts. I no longer have much in the way of woodworking tools. So I can't just go out in the garage, stack several sheets of balsa against a template, and then hold the whole shebang against the disc sander and make a stack of ribs. Much less cut slots for the spars. No band saw or scroll saw either.

So, I always felt that by the time I geared up to be able to do it effeciently I'd spend way more to tool up and tie up more garage in equipment I really don't need anymore. So, I was just going to buy a kit whenever the mood hit me. But then I always stare at this perfectly good set of plans and think "man, I should have made a template of all the parts before I glued'm in." Then in my mind's eye I'd have plans and templates at the ready should I ever decide to build another.

Whenever I've boogered up a piece and just made another from scrap or new wood its always surprised me how much effort it took just to replicate a simple part. But if you can stack them up and make six at a time perhaps it would be worthwhile.

Just the sort of thing that runs thru my mind and gets me into all sorts of trouble.
