Sorry about my poor English. I'm building a Lancair 320 MK II, fast build
kit in Brazil, so I speak Portuquese and, unfortunately I'm not fluent in
English.

Concerning the subject, I mostly agree with Curtis Krouse opinion. My FB
kit is superb. I only had to do some small adjustments that I think is OK.
The optional are not so good but acceptable. You have to apply so much work
to go on with the wing tip extensions. The doors of the big (500x5) gears
asked for some adjustment and the big tail needs a lot of care and
attention to be well done as an horizontal stab demand. I think the only
really IMPORTANT think you have to pay lots of attention is with the
adjustment of the engine mount on the firewall. The firewall of my kit
wasn't totally flat so I bad to make it be flat.  It was approved by
Lancair. In my case there was really big gaps between mount and firewall,
up to quarter inch. It is mechanically important not to correct this gap
squeezing it with the bolt. I did some big washers with epoxy / flox,
machined to fit the accurate size.
