There's nothing to assembling an ARF, a few "Glues and Screws" and you're ready to go. But The Arrow is slightly more advanced, It would be ok, depending on what your instructor says (You DO have an instructor right?)
Take a look at the Hangar 9 Alpha. It's a more basic trainer, And the Evolution engine is excellent:

PS Find a club in your area, Instruction is free, and without it, your plane will last for about 15 seconds before turning into a pile of broken balsa.
