Go For It!!!!

If you have good basic skills with working on wood, kits are not that hard to do. You may actually be surprised with how quickly your project takes shape. I built my first RC plane (trainer) and it was great. The thing that makes it easy now is the internet. You can get information and see pictures of techniques so quickly it is like having a pro builder looking over your shoulder.

Do not get me wrong. You will make mistakes, learn things and get better and faster as you do it. The thing to remember is that almost any mistake can be corrected. Even gluing your FG foamy wing on upside down......... Don't ask, just try to avoid building at 1 am!
