If your interested in building a kit take a look at my LT-40 build thread. It will give you a good idea of what it takes to build a plane, and will help you decide if you can do it or not. My advice is, go for it. Building a plane is great fun, and it's the best feeling in the world when you see that plane that you built yourself take off for the first time!!!
