I'm currently building a Skeeter.  I would say that the kit is worth
$15.00.  I've heard from several people that it is a good flyer but I've
never actually seen one fly.

What you've heard about the building instructions is true.  They tell
you to build things in such a way as to make the plane impossible or at
least extremely difficult to build later on.  For example, they tell you
to sheet the wing leading edge first, then later they tell you to
install the dihedral braces.  It's much easier to install the braces
BEFORE sheeting the wing.  I'd say that if you have some building
experience, build it, and use what you've learned in the past when
something doesn't seem right.  If you have to go soley by instructions,
you'll be frustrated.
