Spirit of St. Louis Model Kite
Do to the brief description of the kite, I assumed there would be no problems assembling it, and looked forward to it's construction. However upon opening the box, I found the Kite Kit was nothing but a bundle of sticks, and none are cut to length. You will need a large flat building board surface to spread out the plans, to build it on. I am skilled in construction of Radio controlled model airplanes, and I hav'nt seen a kit like this in many years. The level of construction skill needed for assembly of this model is known as "Advanced". These days, there are many model airplane kits that are known as Quick-built, or a.r.f. (almost ready to fly). This kite kit will require advanced construction skills to complete. I've shelved mine for a later date. I have many less complicated kits I need to complete. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00003L8LV/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title

Spirit of St. Louis Model Airplane Kite Kit
I bought this because I had built the Wright Brothers Kitty Hawk. This kite is a little more complex than the Wright Brothers and my only complaint is that the instructions could be better.

built this, the Jenny, and Wright brothers plane ...
built this, the Jenny, and Wright brothers plane so far... not overly difficult, just take your time, and think it through. (i make copies of all the original parts to build more in the future ;) )
