I had expected better quality than the kit actually was. I compare it to Peck Polymers kits and it doesn't come close. The wood was heavier than it should be and the plastic parts were not molded very well with blemishes in them. The canopy is plain with no ridges to show where the glass and metal fit together. I pulled out an old peanut Sterling kit (Corsair and Zero) and even that had a much better canopy. The prop that came with the kit is a Guillows red prop,the type that no wire size fits snugly thru .Really? At least Dumas could provide a decent prop .Will not buy any more Dumas kits
