alright, I'm going strictly profile..... since I built my goldberg 330 all my other planes are collecting dust. I've also just finished a goldberg 540. Now I want to build a profile from a kit and cover it myself. I have built about a dozen arfs. can someone suggest an easy building profile kit. the ones that I have looked at are the Morris Knife, Morris gee-whiz-bee, taco ??? isn't that one that I hear pro bros talking about?? and a few others...... I want to build one that will be somewhat different than the 330 & 540. This may be a stupid question but do you guys think that Morris Hobbies makes a top quality product??? I hear a lot of great things about their planes that's why I was looking at the above mentioned kits...... I have all the tools for building a arf ... what kind of special tools can I anticipate buying other than a covering iron????? am I right in thinking that a profile will be a good choice for a first try at building and covering???? any information that you guys can pass along will be greatly appreciated. thanks

I haven't built one yet, but the Burrito from PaulSwany looks like it will go together real easy. His FF Taco kit literally fell together, and the Burrito uses the same construction methods. The wing should be even easier because there is no taper.

For tools, most profiles require you to cut a lot of sticks at various angles. For this, a good razor saw and one of those miter sanders come real handy. Can't remember who makes them, but they're only about $15 or so and you can set the desired angle and san the ends of sticks for perfect joints. A good flat building board is a must, along with a bunch of pins for holding parts down. Other than that, you probably have everything else you need.

the burrito does look nice...... I hear a lot of excellent comments about it.
