Dan at Wing Mfg did this as a favor to me as I've known him for a long time. Wing Mfg. is only a few miles away from where our family in Michigan live, so I've been there a number of times. The kit components/templates etc were in preliminary, undeveloped form just as he received them from Dan, and he wasn't sure whether or not everything was exactly correct. Due to other projects, I haven't even had it out of the box yet to test it and verify accuracy, but it sure would be a whole lot easier/better than scratch building one. Now that I think about it, I don't think he wanted people to know about the kit he did for me, (but it looks like it might be a little late for that now).[8D] I can take it out and look it over if you'd like me to.

Anyway, perhaps Dan could be persuaded to produce a few of the rough kits, (for experienced builders as you suggest), if he doesn't have to put any more work into production, but at the same time, he may not feel comfortable putting anything out that isn't 100% checked, and the best it can be because he wants all his products to be worthy of the Wing Mfg name. It would be interesting to know just what kind of "market" there might be for such a kit, and how many people would commit to buying one if he would consider doing it?

Just a little thinking out loud between the two of us, (and anyone else out there who happens to "overhear"). There have only been 10,000 "hits" so far, so maybe nobody else will find out. [8D] What have I done?
