Ok, I got to look more closely at things and I still am quite satisfied with the wood stock and materials. The hardware is quite extensive and everything one could possibly need to complete the model is provided aside from the leadout wire.
One thing I have not been able to locate however are the set screws for the wheel retaining collars. The wrench to tighten them is there but no set screws.
There is one minor error in the instructions. I do not want to seem overly critical but I do assume you want as much feedback as possible.
In step six (6) the instructions tell you to glue the elevator to the fuselage.
I know that it should read "glue the stabilizer to the fuselage" or possibly the use of the term 'Stabilizer/elevator assembly'
Also I do like the wheel collars but have you considered the lighter, more simple wheel retainers like Sig sells? Sig part number SIGSH121

First the set screws, if no one screwed up, they should be in the wheel collars. The leadout wires should be taped to the landing gear card with the push rod. If any of these things are not there I will mail them to you.
The wheel retainers from Sig along with smaller liter wheels go into our less expensive kits and our free flight kits; "Pee Wee Pup" and "Nomad". I feel that the wheel collars are a nicer touch.
I will look into that error and change it on the next printing.
You are right I do want to know if there is anything else that I can do to make this a great kit.
Thank you
