Awesome!! I absolutely think you should do this!
But unless you have a good amount of RC flying experience under your thumbs, I really wouldn't recommend doing it first...
If you're new to flying please build a Tiny Trainer or Simple Scout or Simple Cub first so you can learn to fly on something much easier that will fly slower, stall slower, has some dihedral for self-righting, and is brushless prop based so you have near instant throttle response instead of the EDF power delay that is responsible for so many new EDF pilot's first crash.
