it sound like you'd have little trouble building the kit. I have the same one on the bench right now, second build on my new bench. Picked up a 8 foot by 3 foot butcher block bench at costco for 200 bucks, I couldn't build it for that. Flying it now seem to be the issue. This is like a 4th-5th airplane, I think I built and flew about 7 before I did a warbird.

I'd say build a sig 4-star or somethin extra for some low wing tailwheel training.
