Model building is not that hard. the instruction with most trainer kits and the LT-40 in particular are an execellent resource. It might take you as much as two or three months with 6 hours a week. As they say the experience is priceless don't let building scare you as I said before basic building skills are something that you will allways have a need for.

Imcruz when I started in this hobby the only ways you got a plane were you built it yourself or bought it from a club member who built it there was no such things as ARF.

Thats also why SPAD's are so attractive to some because the construction times are much lower.

What ever you decide remember its a hobby and the point is to have fun!!!!

These boards are a great resource but remember that all replies are opinion. "You gots' to pick and chose"
