KX3 Kit Construction - Any Pitfalls?

[Jim Sheldon]

Just got the UPS shipping notice on the KX3 Kit and according to the tracking# I should get it Monday .  I've printed off the construction manual available on the website and also made the corrections to it that are listed in the errata.  I know quite a few have already constructed their kits and wondering if there are any serious "warts" to watch out for in the manual vs the actual construction of the kit?  

The KPA500 kit was pretty straightforward and I don't really expect this one to be any different, but it always helps to ask previous builders.

Thanks in advance for any additional info that might be helpful - especially on the initial setup & alignment.

BTW it must be Christmas in October!  Factory assembled KAT500 will be here Friday and the KX3 kit on Monday.  It don't get too much better than that.

I built mine a couple weeks ago, with ATU & filters.  No problems come to mind -
it all worked right off the bat.  Just be sure to review the errata sheet that
comes with the manual.
