We're going to scare off the guy that is thinking about buying one. It isn't really that bad. Matter of fact it is farily easy, just be DETAIL oriented and read everything twice and be sure you understand. That is not hard at all with all the pictures. explanation detail and all. AND, the K3 is simply an assembly process, not rorroid winding or any of that stuff and when you load the firmware, it is simply a single load of the latest as it is all in each version. Even the load is a simple process, almost a one click" deal.
You will find that most had about 10 to 12 hours from sealed box to power on for the first time. I did mine in about 4 sessions that totaled 11 hours and I went slow. AND it was fun. YOU "build" it yourself and you are not afraid to tear it all apart, nothing to it, you built it and know all about it, where everything is, what each piece does. and how to get it out and back in if you want to.
