Bob, I'm interested in build one of the many quick build kits, Jabriu
etc, however, if I do buy a kit it would become my latest obsession
and I'd never get anything else done until it's finished. That's way
it was with computers then printers, so none of the household jobs
ever get done. I tried setting aside one day per week to get the
house repairs done, but that never worked as more printers came in
for repair.:-(

Sounds like a prescription for divorce! Even the quick build kits are still
quite an undertaking. Yes, the quick builds do shorten the time required for
assembling the airframe but that is only part of the building process. You
still have all the wiring, finishing, engine, and other componets to complete.
The best and fastest build time will still be in something in the order of 500
hours or more depending on your adhearing to the plans and not doing any
modifications.

Understand and plan for what you are getting into. If you are still upto the
task, go for it.
