Default Looking to buy first plane

Hello All!
I've always been amazed by model airplanes and I've decided it's time to dive into them myself. I've been doing some research and here's the setup I've decided on. Any commets are suggested.

Plane - Sig Kadet LT-40
Engine - O.S. .46FX
Radio - Futaba 6XAS 6-Channel FM with S3004 BB Servos

This seems to be a common plane/engine combo for training. The radio sounds good to have for future upgrades.

I haven't decided whether to get the kit or the ARF. Would it be THAT hard to build this thing my self with no prior experience? The kit is considerably cheaper than the ARF! I've got all winter to build it (after I talk the wife into letting me spend $500 on all this stuff!).

Thanks,
SHANE
