This was built from a kit I bought back in the brief period in 2013 when Shrox was selling kits. I put it together in fall 2014 and finally in July 2015 got it painted and decaled. I decided a flat finish would be appropriate so hit it with Dullcote; that and a removable Kevlar leader for the shock cord were the only deviations from the instructions. Maybe I should have redshifted the motor mount to 24 mm but I went with the stock 18 mm.
