Pick up an LT40 kit. The design is strong, has good ground handling and is a stable flyer. Don't worry about if you can get it together. The parts are cut to fit and notch into each other before you need to add glue. This pretty much assures that the plane will go together fairly straight and fly well. The parts are also numbered and/or labeled and have a picture of each part in the instructions so that you can tell what you are supposed to be looking for. The instructiuons are numbered and have check boxes beside each instruction that you tick off as you go along. This keeps you from getting lost the next day when you quit for the night. In short, you don't need to know how to build a plane. You just need to be able to follow instructions and in a few weeks you have a plane that is built and ready to cover. It does take some time but the building is straight forward and when its done you won't believe that you built it yourself.
