If you can do the deal for 9 or 10k, if you can commit to finishing it (it will be more challenging than the later models), and it gets you in the game now. Do it! You won't regret it. How old are you kids? It's a great bonding project for the family too. I wish my kids were young enough to enjoy it and participate.

Have you seen any builds in-process? Just wondering how familiar you are with FFR builds?

Is there a local club? That's a TERRIFIC resource.
