| The cuts and attach points are nice and crisp. When I was a young teen my optometrist owned one and I got to fly with him a few times. |

| It looks like a nice kit and I don't think it's expensive at all. You also have to pay for engineering. And I don't think I've ever seen a small kit of this plane before, other than an old Comet kit which I'll skip. I like this one and can just imagine it with extra wood. ;-) It looks great in your version so for now I'll just watch. With pleasure. |

| Very impressive kit. Superb quality. I guess you get what you pay for. Definitely not made by Guillows |

| The parts, fabrication, wood selection and plans are superb. Everything fits as advertised. Here's a link to the second half of the Bristol Brownie Beta build by Rich Weber. It picks up half way through, but you'll get the idea of the level of quality and detail in the kit:

| Thank you for the info. They must be the finest kits as they are very expensive! |

The wing spars extend into the root rib on the fuselage, and i've added a three-point magnet system to hold the wing in place. The LG assembly is next, then sanding, then covering. |

The Front LG assembly is going to be tricky. It needs to be flexible, yet stiff at the same time. I'm guessing there will some type of wire spring thing going on. |

The fuselage went together beautifully |

| Where might one peruse their planes? |

| That was quick, John! It does look very nice. Unusual wing construction, looks good. |

The wings went together perectly - including the riblets |

I always start with thw tailfeathers first. Then the wings. |

the twin rudders are made from laminated strip wood. |
