Hi Peter,
Thanks for the welcome! Believe me the temptation to build my own is rising. I figured I could get my feet wet with the sammich to start. Though it is tempting to want the whole shebang.
I dont' think I'd have any problems with the electronics. Not new to kit builds. But I haven't yet read enough about what can be sourced and where. Particularly with regard to control surfaces. I know you can get the boards and component kits (BYO Sids), but I'd really want it to look as sexy as the ones I've seen and there are a lot of miscellaneous parts to source/purchase. I wish there were an option for a complete kit. But that is just laziness I know (though time is always a factor these days).
I'll keep reading but in the meantime if anyone wants to sell a sammich I'm here to buy, knowing the option to build a MB-6582 is still there ;)
Cheers,
Arkay.
