I have built a few kits, Tiger 60, 4 Star 120, TF Sea Fury, MOJO 40, and a few ARFS.
This is just a suggestion for you. You can go on Tower's web site and look at the available kits. <u>Pick one, and you can then see the manuals that come with the kits. Take the time to read a few manuals from different manufacturers</u>. You will get a pretty good idea of whats required to build a kit. Most of them are pretty easy to build. Most manufacturers web sites contain a link to the manuals. I was just suggesting Tower as it contains several manufacturers.
Good luck, and always remember that these guys on here will help you out if you get stuck.
This is an excellent suggestion that I typically do myself when deciding on my next kit. Looking at the manual will give you an idea of how easy/involved the build will be, what to expect, and even what tools you will need.
The Sig 4* is no doubt a favorite among most, so you definitely won't go wrong with that or the Tiger. If you're not in a rush, you may consider waiting for the Venture 60 to become available from Bruce Tharpe Engineering (
http://www.btemodels.com/). He designed the original 4*, and from what Ihave read, the Venture 60 is an improved version of it. It's definitely on the top of my list...
