The Superstar 40 Select it a very good trainer plane. It was my first! It comes about as complete as you can get. Assembly only takes about 30 min. Wings go together with a small rod and 2 straps w/ screws that hold the wing together. The tail feathers go together by sliding the elevator stab in then the rudder stab has 2 threaded studs that slip thru the elevator and install 2 nuts, hook up the control rods & your done - providing you bought the plane as the combo deal that comes with everything. The only thing not included is fuel & a glow starter.
If you dont have an instructor to help you I suggest you also get a flight simulator and play with it for awhile first. That might keep you from loosing your plane right off the bat but no guarantees.
Keep in mind a trainer serves 4 purposes - learn to takeoff, fly, land and REPAIR!! Mine served ALL 4 very well especially the last one! He He!!
Good luck in your venture & remember - Taking off is an option, Landing is not!!
