RE: CMP Katana 50
No, putting together a foamy is a different matter altogether.
Imagine that you receive a box of parts for the ARF and only the C.G. location and throws.
Can the two of you handle this? Can you get the plane together with nothing more than this?
There are a bunch of little tricks and tips that you acquire as you start to work on ARF's. Some of these are in the manuals, other things are aquired with experience.
You'll need many of these points when putting the plane together.
You CAN download manuals for other similiar planes and start reading up on their tricks and tips...
But your best bet is to build another couple of planes first.
