Hi Mike, I finally got my kit installed. Great job putting this together, I'm impressed! Just a few things I noticed while going through the assembly: - Solder points and traces are fairly small / thin. I actually ended up having to repair one hole that had folded over on itself during manufacturing. I would suggest making the traces just a little beefier since there's plenty of real estate to do so. - Jumpers below note 2 in Appendix A are pretty close together. I know you've modified the layout for the ones by note 1 already, but these seem to have a similar problem. Is it possible to do a double sided board to eliminate these jumpers? I think it would give a much cleaner layout and it would definitely make contruction easier. - There is no mention of installing the battery in the instructions. I know this is obvious to most, but it may be helpful to note that the kit will not work without a battery installed. Other than a couple small hiccups, I'd say it went pretty smoothly. Still trying to figure out the best way to mount the board in there. Thanks again! I'll let you know how everything else works out once I play with it some more ;) Everett
