Nah ... the UCANDO is piece of cake to put together. No harder then any other other ARF. You can go wrong with it as your first plane, including a high wing trainer. It will land at 1/2 the speed of a trainer will.

My best advice to you is get a good radio. In fact get the best you can afford. If you are going Futaba the 9C if JR 8103.

A good computer radio can make the most unstable plane as easy to fly as a trainer.
