Update
I just received my order from RST, I about fell over.
You know just a little note in the mail or answering email or the phone or a big statement on the web site would solve most of their customer service issues.
Thanks

Do not order from RST
I have been waiting for a kit since January it is now almost July.
They took my money though.
They do not answer email and the phone number just rings.

Hi John
Not to be argumentative, but IMO foil dipoles are very easy to make, take perhaps 30 minutes to assemble
and work quite well. Best of all they don't add drag!
The foil and ferrite beads are readily available from ACS, and the leg lengths can be determined easily.
For the gps you probably should use a manufactured product as most of these are powered and amplified
devices. For a glass plane and antennas for VHF, I don't think there is a better option.
RST sells a kit, but I keep hearing reports on an other list of the kits shipping months after the order.

or any reason not to “role my own"
1) Time spent could be better utilized
2) Professional manufactured work out of the box
3) Will the 'role my own' product be readily reproducible in case of damage to the original
