Default Giant Scale Building kits

THis is probably a dumb question to most, if not all of you, but I like to build my planes from a kit rather than an ARF. I trust my building skills better that ARF manufactures. Can anyone direct me to a web site dealer that offers Giant Model building kits? Looking for 25%-30% Scale. Thanks!

If I have the time and building skills to go straight from a kit rather bashing an ARF, no question it would be a Carden Aircraft. Great resale value to boot if you dont' end up crashing it.

The best stuff you could get kit wise would be either Carden Aircraft (http://www.carden-aircraft.com/) or Dalton Aviation (http://www.daltonaviation.com/). However, they don't do much in the 30% range. Carden did make the Cuda which was 85" wingspan and flies great but I'm not sure if they still produce it.

They do still make them, however right now I think it will be a 5 or 6 more months before they will be back in stock. I am having a cuda built up right now and I am puting the new O.S. 55 GT in it. It should be ready to fly maybe next week.

I'm building a Dalton 42% right now. Top notch kit! If you would consider a 35% kit that is the way I would go.
