RE: ADVICE (REGARDING NTC3)
The TC3 is the perfect kit for the first time builder. I put my kit together in about 3-4 hours. It may take you a bit longer. I built many kits over the years.
The instructions are very clear and you will enjoy in more when you build it yourself.
Just make sure you have hardened allen wrenches before you build it. They cost about 50 bucks, but believe me you really can't build that kit without them.
