Ron, I just finished a basic K2. I built it a couple hours at a time over a couple months. I will make a wild guess that it took me about 20 hours. This is a real rough number, but should give you an idea. Lots of fun and only a couple difficult things to do.
The assembly instructions are fabulous, but do watch this list during your building, for late breaking issues/changes in the build process. Good Luck, Tom KG3V Quoting ron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > much easier than the heathkit. > > You will notice the parts are smaller, has no point to point wiring, > and almost no mechanical assemblies involved like the tediuos > assemblies in HW 9.
