RE: Easy, first kit build?
Taking into consideration what Gray Beard said about the 4* being not enough plane for you (it would still be fun flying and great building experience to learn from), I would also recommend checking out a Great Planes Ultra Sport 60 or Goldberg Super Chipmunk kits.
Another one I've thought about adding to my own list is the Great Planes Extra 300S kit. The build on these shouldn't be too bad and they will give you a plane you can enjoy for many years to come...
Good luck!
