The Top Flite Corsair kit is a very good kit. However, I don't recommend that you start building with that kit, regardless of your woodworking skills. Just like in woodworking, building a kit is something that you develop your skills as you slowly start with simple projects and move to more complicated ones. The same is true in kit building. There are skills that you will develop as you work from easy kits up to more complicated ones. My best advice to you would to start off with a kit such as a Sig 4-star or a Goldberg Tiger II. Building kits like this will help you develop the basics kit building skills that you will need to successfully build the Corsair later on down the road. Without these basic skills there is a good chance that mistakes can be made while building the Corsair that could resort in a crash. And yes, kit building skills are different than what you have learned in your shop classes, however your classes will help you to better understand what's going on as you learn to build kits.</p>

Please don't think that I'm trying to be harsh or hold you back, but just the opposite. I want to see you succeed and that's why I'm suggesting you go this route. I'd hate to see you sink time into building the Corsair only to see it crash because something simple was missed.</p>

Hope this helps</p>
