Don't let the "kit" part put you off. It still requires a ton of effort and skill. You aren't getting an Ikea plane in a box, you're getting a bunch of rough cut aluminum and some plans. You still have to trim and debur the parts to their final specifications, align everything, and rivet it together all without damaging things.
