I wish I would have known all this before I bought it...All I ever read was "It's a great kit, very complete". Yeah!

Mine was..
Sorry yours wasn't. Kinda hard for me to give a description of a kit without knowing what will happen after mine.
"Great kit, very complete, but yours will suck".

As the Sledge builders after me have been having no end of trouble with basically every aspect of their kit, and are now referencing the posts I or others may have made as to quality and completeness of the Sledge kit, I felt compelled to offer the fact that while I had none of these problems with my kit, it would be hard for me to offer a review of kits yet to be sold.
The consensus of these builders seems to be that they bought the kit based upon a general description of, "It's a great kit, very complete". Which mine was.
But it would be extremely difficult for me to make any predictions as to the quality of kits yet to be produced, ergo "Great kit, very complete, but yours will suck"

I live in Australia so I just ordered the plans and laser cut parts for the Sledge and hand picked the rest of the balsa. I finished construction on it today and hope to get a test flight soon. The RTF weight is 3lbs 15oz with a TT46. It looks like a lot of weight can be saved by wood selection and it is not just a heavy design.

John that really sucks!!
I've been waiting a while to decide on which plane to buy.
After reading about all the problems with the Sledge kits. there is just. No Way!!!!! Not to mention that their not standing behind their products! This should have been taken care of right off the bat! I'm not buying any thing from them until they get their s#!% together!!!!

Well now Im not going to say that Debbie wouldnt send me more wood. I just didnt bother with it. Order one and ask if you can get decent wood in your kit.
