Default My first kit in a while, need some advice...

well fellas,

im getting back into the hobby with a nice sport trainer model (arf) to nock the rust off the thumbs. I thought will I was useing it I could build a kit plane to have a fun sport plane to fly as the next model. I see they are makeing the Ultra sport classic again. Now the only thing im wondering is which size to get? .40 or .60? Ive flown mostly .40's before but sorta wanted a .60 size just because they seemed to fly nicer (and were easier to see).
So is there any difference between the sizes on the US classic kit?

ohhh, I for got to add.
Im looking at getting the kit from omni models. Are they any good?? Ahh I may just stick with tower hobbies.



P.S. Lots of the guys got 4*60's in the air, I wanted some thing different. Just not as fun when every plane looks exactly the same (model, trim skeem, UHHHGGG)

Omni models is Tower Hobbies..

I'd go with the US 60 with a tower .75 motor or a Saito 82 or 100
Bigger planes handle the wind better. so go as big as you can..

Bigger flies better. I have the Ultrasport 1000, which they no longer manufacture.

Omni and Tower is the same company so do what you wish.
Bigger is always the way to go if you can get the plane to the field and can buy fuel for it.
