Me too! My 330 has been my primary for about 3 years now, and I'm still loving it!

Build the 330!!!! They are a lot of work, but not too hard and a lot of fun to build. Dennis is real helpful if you have problems. As mentioned before, you will need a BIG flat table, (most guys use a solid door from Home Depot) 2-300 lbs of weight for sheeting the wings, bandsaw, lotsa masking tape, etc. I have built 3 of his kits, Extra, Cap, and Giles, all were great!!! Going to do his 43% 260 next year and stuff my 3W 212 in it

That right there is all the endorsement you need, and one hell of an indication of good character to boot!

FYI- I built the first Cap in a tiny apartment while going to school. You just have to manage your space well!
bjohnson80's opinion is not valid, I think the pictures are photochopped..
And really, what the hell does Wayne know???

I love that blue and yellow 330. Is that covered in Monokote or Ultra? What is color shades is that?
