Perfectionist seldom finish these kits unless they accept help or are willing to let little things that don’t bother other people , go and continue. The way things look that have no affect on the safety of the machine, will need to be forgotten and progress needs to continue. Building a show machine can take decades. If that’s what you want to do, that’s fine, go for it. But I think most people bought the kit to fly not win trophies that can be bought for a few dollars at the store.
I made a living traveling around the country helping people finish ships for over 20 years. I seen nearly every reason why people don’t finish kits, so I can speak with some credibility on the subject. This thread brings back memories.

Homer do you still assist builders? Wondering if it would be a benefit to have you come out to assist with the body panels. BTW I did shoot you an email in regards to your throttle friction lock, do you still sell those?
