Hey Chuck, Thanks for the advice. I was sorta aware that it would be a complex build when I bought it. I am right now more interested in taking my time building up the plane and getting it into a flying state then I am with flying it. I really just wanted a challenging build kit. Im thinking that flying will come later, possibly after a trainer if I can find a good used one. I do fly R/C helicopters, so I was hoping at fast forward flight would be more less the same as an R/C plane. Have I still bitten off too much building wise?
