RE: new to building.....help
May as well put it away for the future, once you start knocking out parts and gluing a kit it's worth almost nothing. Go look at Kens site and find something more at your level.
Building is more fun to me then flying, most the time. You just need a bit of that learning curve before you tackle that Champ. After you have built a couple of smaller planes you will understand a lot more. Maybe by then even have some of the gear you will require for a plane that size. Bigger the plane the bigger the money in most cases.
