highspeed jd,
Don't misunderstand, I like the 'Aziz', it's designed very well. But I'm not real sure it's a 'beginner's boat. It's also not the most difficult you could find by any means. 'Model Slipway' is one of ~the~ best companies to deal with, very helpful, and don't mind if you ask questions (sometimes the "translation" gets a little murky, but ). The only thing is that you do need to pay attention to the instructions, and if you aren't sure about something, think about it some more. There are a few builds of the 'Aziz' on the forums and I would suggest that you read them to see what other people think of it. If you decide to try it, then have at it!
