I bought this one framed up, so I can't really comment on how it was to build.
It looks like a good kit, though. This was a really nice flying airplane.
The only bad thing about mine was that it was built with way too much dihedral,
which made doing some aerobatics a bit sloppy. The instructions don't mention it,
but you can build the wing flat if you want to. I have a friend who did this to his,
and it flies great. I powered mine with an O.S. .46SF, which gave it great,
though not unlimited vertical. The only negative side to this plane was that
it was squirrely on the ground, and was prone to ground looping, probably due to
the forward positioned landing gear. Eventually, I added right thrust to tame the scary takeoff rolls.
This plane crashed after I took off with the ailerons reversed (this, despite the fact that
I had checked them!). The plane did a slow roll into the ground shortly after lift off,
and the ply fuselage was totaled.
