Tom beat me to it, rcken was going to do a build thread on this plane, it's something new that came out about a year ago. ken got too busy to do it though and I never saw the build happen. I was looking forward to it though thinking it may be a better first build then the 4* series. It tries to teach the new builder a lot of the aspects involved in several different types of planes all in one package.
I also didn't want to discourage you from building the Elder. I just wanted you to know it is a lot different then an ARF and you should go look at the different build threads to see if it is something you think your able to do. We can't tell what type of skills you have with wood working. In my wood working club most any of the members would be able to build model kits without any problem without ever having done it before.
Before you decide you need to go read the build threads. A little time spent seeing how others do things will be a big help. The threads will show what type of glues were used and how the sheeting was done.
Just do a search in the building forum and read before you decide anything. I would still like to see a build thread on the BUSA kit before I decide if it would be as good of a learning tool as it looks.
