I was more fortunate than Rick, got to build mine from scratch, and
second Rick's comment. It's not hard, the directions are quite good,
and doesn't take much time. And you learn how the whole thing goes
together from the start.
The hardest part of the job is managing the left-over packaging 8-}.

Several have asked whether they should build a K3 semi-kit or get it
factory-assembled. As a field tester, I missed out on the opportunity to
build my K3 from scratch but I did have the opportunity to take parts of it
apart and put it back together. You learn a lot from building. When I buy a
second K3, it will be a kit. They have identical performance to the built
units, they assemble easily, they cost less and you learn how they work and
how they go together. This makes any future maintenance easier. The assembly
manual is excellent. My advice to prospective owners is this - if you are
physically able to assemble the semi-kit, go for it.
