Well I love to fly but really hate the building part. And I am mechanical, I have a 2002 Camaro SS on stands awaiting the tranny rebuild, new rearend, clutch and driveshaft all to be done by me. Only thing that slows me down with it is the craps heavy. And doing it all yourself can wear you out.
I was pulling cars apart every weekend (and re-assembling them) when I was younger. 55 Chevies, Vettes, Hemi Dodges (Mopar 4-speeds ain't light), it didn't matter. Quit being a wimp if you ever want to drive the car.[:@] Then again, if you are getting too old for that crap it could be a different matter.[

Bruce,
They had cars when you were younger???? [:@]
Just kidding of course.
But on the subject of this thread. You can't be afraid of putting your plane together. If you are this will affect the way you fly that plane, meaning you will ALWAYS be afraid of it when it's in the air. I can totally understand that it can be intimidating to assemble a plane the first time. But, you have a Great Planes product and I can assure you that their instruction manuals are second to none. They do a great job of getting you through the assembly. If you still have questions we are always here to help. And as a last resort, see if somebody at your club will help you do the assembly. Not do it for you, but rather be with you to watch what you do. Most ARF's are pretty easy to put together is you take it slow and double check everything you do. Just pay attention and you won't have any problems.
