As soon as I saw this kit at eRockets, I had to get it.
There is very little information regarding the kit except that Carl was working on it in 2012.
The instructions indicate that some tweaking was required before it could be put into production, which was done by Eric Specht. As you can see from the parts picture, the KISS approach was not high on the priority list.
I have read and re-read the instructions a couple of times and there seems to be a missing step or lack of clarity regarding what are called the turbulators pictured below.
Three of them are square and three are curved at the end. The only ones shown or mentioned during the assembly instructions are the square ended ones. I believe they end up stacked together on 1 side of the leaf and the other side is flat. I have emailed Randy for clarification and will report back what he says.
I don't really know the best way to finish the maple seeds to protect from moisture and dirt without layering on paint. At this point, I am planning on not filling the wood and airbrushing a light coat of Createx acrylic paint.
