is the perfect 1st plane.
Yes, you will have to buy a few hand tools, iron, and heat gun, but if you intend to take up this hobby, you will need these and when you have an uh ohh, they will be right there waiting for you and you will be PERFECTLY ready to use them.
Its really not hard to build these trainer birds if you have a fair amount of horse sence.
PLEASE, consider converting this kit to a tail dragger, its alot more satisfying in the long run.
By all means get some help from an instructor and look forward to the greatest hobby youve ever imagined!

Just my 2 penneis worth.
Happy fliin!!!!!!!!!
