I am currently building a TF .60 sized Corsair. It is my first attempt at kit building and I can tell you that i definately would do my build process much differently. I built according to the directions starting with the tail and then went straight to the wing like the manual shows.If I could do it over again I would have built the tail sufaces to get an basic idea of how to work with the wood and then went straight to the fuselage so I could have had a better understanding of how to get everything straight and true. The plans and instructions are pretty straightforward but if you have no experience you may miss some important building tips that will add up to hours of frustration and head scratching. By the time I finally got the wing done I was pretty sure I had messed it up but I seemed to have beginners building luck and it turned out okay (not perfect but acceptable). My wingtips measured out within a 1/16th of an inch and no twists. The fuse seemed to pretty much fall into place and I can now start attaching the horizontal and vertical stabs, then the moving surfaces. A long hard road for me as i started with ZERO building experience. I am hoping to have mine done by the end of next month and then the proof will be in the pudding........
In answer to your question, I say yes it can be done but I canassure youit will not be easy and in some parts not enjoyable at all. If you have faith in your skills then you can give it a whirl and at worst you will have some good experience and at best you will have something that can last for years. Can a first time builder build a advanced level kit? Yes, but be prepared for many hours of study on the net and in the forums. Without the resources available I seriously doubt anyone could "fake" thier way thru such a complicated build. Every step when building has to be planned so that 10 pages later in the manual something lines up or attaches properly.
Everyone has given great advice and I for one should have listened to the advice they are giving you now. Had I known how hard this was going to be I probably would not have tackled such an advanced kit. Good luck whichever way you decide but I can attest to how difficult this build is................... after 6 months i can finally see a light at the end of a very dark and winding tunnel.
