Default RE: Easy, first kit build?


ORIGINAL: jetblast96

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to start moving away from ARF's, and go more towards building kits. I have been flying rc airplanes for about 5 years, have both nitro and electric airplanes, and my building experience is as much as building 3 ARF kis brings you. I also have only some basic tools. I want to start enjoying the building portion of model aviation more, and I feel that a kit could do that for me. Problem is, I don't know where to start. Do any of you know of any type of, or specific kit that is an easy first build, very well made, and fun to fly? I'm open to backyard flyers, electrics, and nitro's up to .40 sized (I fly at a small feild). [img][/img]

Thanks in advance!

I was tempted to recommend the 4 Star 40 or the Tiger 2, both are good fliers and easy to build, but you have been flying for 5 years, you need somethin more advanced, "very well made and fun to fly up to .40 size". I think the Sig Somethin Extra is the kit you are looking for. Easy to build, high quality materials and outsanding sport/fun fly airplane.
