I have built several non-Elecraft kits which included some SMD parts. I just followed the instructions and things came out fine. The kits were fun to build.

The argument I gave Eric at a ham convention involved getting young people interested in and experienced with construction. I think this goal is important for both the hobby and the economic viability of the country. The argument didn't fly with Eric. I think he was concerned with support costs.

If an SMD kit were made with a proper mask for solder paste, it wouldn't be bad at all. I think it would be "fun".
