From someone who is an IT guy that gets stuff done around the house without much experience on making stuff from plans, how hard would this be? I'd like to try to build something like this at some point since I'll be buying a cheap plane in the future. Quads are nice, but I've built one now and want something less techy and more hands on with wood.
The other kit I'm working on is a Sig LT-25. It's laser cut and the parts seem much cleaner. I could only assemble the wing because the first step of the fuse requires having the engine. The parts fit together very well and the couple of hiccups I had were due to not studying the pictures in the manual or the full size plan very well.
The PT-20 which this thread covers is die cut. Many parts for the fuse had to be sanded, trimmed, squeezed, etc for a proper fit, but the wing went together with no issue. It will still require "twisting" for washout, so I still have time to screw it up.
I want to say the Sig kit is the easier of the two. The parts seem to fit together more easily due to the more precise cutting method. It could all change when I start assembling the fuse though. Many of the small mistakes I made in its wing I was able to avoid on this build because I knew what to watch for. None of the mistakes will cause any issues down the line, just may take a little more sanding or wood filler to look nice in the end.
