dubcat,
I've never built one of these nor even seen one in person. But I've never heard/seen a bad review on one and have it in my mind to do it one day. The reason? For just once I'd like to build a kit done right...good plans, good wood, good intructions. These are repeatedly what I've heard about this kit.
A google search will turn up many satisfied owners world wide. So if a distant 3rd hand suggestion is ok you may wish to explore a Flying King.
