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. - Bill G
