OK Ken, my turn to pitchin.If you want to build this plane, the do it. Go slow take your time, ask questions and you'll be fine. Get your flying skills beyond a trainer but the Skybolt flies very well. I was surprised how stable mine was the first time I flew it. There's tons of info on RCU about this plane and if you have any further questions then post them, we're glad to help. One word of advice..........for the love of God don't put a 2 stroke in this plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
