I gladly paid $20 at a repographics shop for the boxcar plans to keep from having to tape tiles, then spent 4 evenings at 3 hours each, cutting it out. That's over $480 in my labor before I plug in the glue gun. I've built 2 Krakens, 4 FT Flyers, and 1 SS.
I ordered the Storch Speedbuild Kit (it arrived today) because the boxcar was just too much after 20 pieces.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the pride in explaining that I made every cut, but from here on out, I'm going to order kits from the FT store. Eventually, I will keep spare kits in storage. If I have the need, the plane can be reassembled overnight without pulling an all-nighter.
I've ordered parts and sub assemblies from them in the past. Their products have been equal or better quality than mine, even after being shipped hundreds of miles. Contents are always immaculate. They have earned my business and will allow me to spend more quality time with my family.
Remember, your time is a finite resource and it spends just like money.
Thanks FT!
