I'm in the middle of my first kit build. Thing is my plan was to buy an ARF. A SIG LT-40. But as they are impossible to find, I decided to build. Now a week into the build, it was the right decision. First, it's not as hard as I thought, second I'm finding it to be a lot of fun. I was planning to build a second kit over the winter, but now you guys tell me SIG and other kit builders are in trouble. I think I better buy the Kavalier I was thinking about for the winter, for that matter, I'm going to think about buying a third kit as well...
Dom...........if you are thinking about buying another kit, I would highly recommend the BTE VEnture 60. I have built a lot of kits and have not built for awhile...........wait a minute.......I'm building a giant scale TF P47.........but I'm plateaued for the moment so decided I wanted something fun but simple to build. I was going to build a SIG Four Star 60 but they are not available in the forseable future so someone suggested the Venture 60 because Bruce Tharpe is the man that designed the Four Star 40 and 120 for SIG among others. Well, I got my Venture kit the other day and I can tell you that this is one fine kit and from what I've read from other builders of this kit............they just love it, so if you are thinking about buying another kit, you might look at the Venture 60.

Bruce Tharpe produces some very fine aircraft and kits.
