Could I build a kit?
I'm 29 years old and was just introduced to the rc airplane hobby a month ago. Got my first "ready to fly" trainer. Instructions said it would take an hour to put it together and it really was about an hour including time spent reading the entire instruction manual first. However I spent an additional two hours figuring out how to operate the battery charger, transmitter, and charging the batteries. I'm still waiting for a good day to fly it. So in all it took three hours before it was ready to fly.
I believe it was when I was in late elementary school that I put together a few model car kits. The kind that once it's put together it sits on the shelf and collects dust. The plastic pieces or parts came attached to one another in a plastic square that you just separated by hand. I used "modeling cement" which would hold something together in about 30 minutes. The car kits also came with complete step by step instructions and the pieces were numerically coded with illustrations showing exactly where and how to put it together. Looking back now I thought the instructions were very easy, just time consuming to put together.
So, do you think I would be able to take one of those trainer kits with the laser cut parts and put it together using the instructions that come with it such as the 40 size Telemaster?
