I think he's talking about the ARF, Jim. It really doesn't take any skill to assemble an ARF. Just the ability to follow instructions. Some of the purists in this hobby would be rolling over in their (soon to be) graves, hearing that an ARF requires skills to build.
Jacked, are you happy with the plane? Does it fly well? Is the engine properly broken in? If so, I wouldn't be too upset about things.
