If you can afford to waste the cost of one kit, buy 2 of whatever you want, don't be concerned about inexperience in building. Build one and fly it. Then build the other and use what you learned from building the first one.

I did this and learned 2 things:

1) I suck at building and would rather write a check.

2) I will never have to worry about building a kit again, because God invented China.

I will be building more kits, but not for a , (2 yr old and baby on the way),and then they will be Cardens or Daltons....and I will have experienced help.

Have fun learning!!!
