Zach,
There's a joke that a lot of SSE builders like to make. To build the kit you open the box, throw in a bottle of glue, close the box, shake, and then remove the completed plane!! I often recommend this kit to people who are doing their first build. It's a very well engineered kit, and the instructions are some of the best I've seen. You will have no problems at all doing this kit as your first build. I've built three of them so far, and the last one I was able to have completely framed up in just a weekend!!

Hope this helps

Ken
