I thought HB (meaning Home Brew) meant something you built yourself, 
OTHER than a kit. You know, a scratch-built unit. Perhaps your own 
design, perhaps something copied from a schematic. (What we would refer 
to in the homebuilt aircraft world as "plans built" as opposed to "kit 
built")

A kit takes a lot of the sting out of home brew. All the parts are 
present, so there's little or no scrounging. And the design is known to 
work, at least in one or more instances.
