I just finished building my PT40. I am not handy at all and it's my first kit. It took me about 80 hours. It's a lot, but it was so much fun that I do not think I will ever buy an ARF. I know most kits now are ARFs but I think building has as much fun as flying.

By the way, last week I had somone fly my plane and it flew and landed. Next week is my turn. I am super excited.

Good luck in yours!
