Nice to hear your going to build your first plane , you`ll learn much more from building . The Pt40 will make you a great plane , and should go together fairly fast .
Take a little time and look over this build thread , it`s an Lt 40 but they build about the same . You`ll find out every thing you need to know there . Good luck , keep us posted .
