It's not the plane I would recommend for a "first build" but if you take your
time , follow the instructions, and don't rush it , you will do fine.

I built many of these kits in it's original form back in the early 70's and decided to
try the "new and improved version" just for the fun of it .

To be sure, the quality is better ,and a bit lighter, but for the most part it's very much
the same plane. If built correctly , it can be a fun plane to have

If I were to build another, I wouldn't bother with the flap this time and I wouldn't use
a 4 stroke again either..... Don't really need a flap and the use of a 4S means that the
engine area gets real tight along with having to move most if not all of the flight pack
toward the rear of the plane.
