there is no catch other than the lead time that they say is 1-2 months ismore like 3 months. I bought my spruce kit there and the price was greatbut the wait was horrible. it took almost 4 months for me to get it. Woodquality was excellent to above excellent.DJ VeghN74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper----- Original Message -----

Weight depends on what process you cover it with. Polyfiber (Stit's) shouldweigh about 45 lbs total, according to their manual.My wings weighed about 40 lbs apeice before covering.Jack PhillipsFinished covering, now waiting for the WX to warm up enough to startpainting-----Original Message-----

DJ,,, I moved my corvair out 2 and a half inches and I'm sure glad I did. Besidesmy big butt not helping the w&b, itreally gave me a little extra room from the firewall. It gets real crowded backthere to boot. I know this is repetitiousbut don't ya just love that corvair engine? Man what a kick,,, your's really looksgreat.Carl ----- Original Message -----
