John:

Like MildBill, I've got one that's half done (meaning the wings/stab/fuselage/nacelles are built and put together). This winter shoud see final assembly done and the whole thing fiberglassed.

For me, the difficult part of this kit is the mental engineering that goes into each step. On the wings, it's planning for all the plumbing needed: retract airlines, servo leads, electrical wiring (if you're gonna use a Twin-Synch or power it with electrons, etc.) On the fuse it's where you mount everything. Fitting gear doors to the nacelles is soooo much fun!

There's a tremendous amount of satisfaction available if you can complete one of these kits. Just be aware the Construction Guide assumes you know how to read a set of plans, sheet, plank, etc., and can fill in the gaps when the instructions say put in three little works like "sheet the fuselage", "plank the nacelles", or "install your retracts".
