I can't agree more

One thing NOW is the perfect time to learn to build!!!! For the simple reason that as you progress to more advanced planes the kits become more complicated that is to say that they assume you already have aquired basic building skills.

To give you an example I built a CG super chipmonk the instructions were extremely detailed with full pictures and steps. Currently I'm buiding a champion P-47D the instructions consist of 8 type written pages (no Pictures) 3 of the 8 pages are parts diagrams. Basically the instruction coupled with the blueprints are basically assembly guidelines and require the builder to already know how to build (what a concept)

Good luck and good building
