There are tons of nice used airplanes out there in various stages of completness. I would highly recommend purchasing good used. There is so much to be learned from an existing airframe. Spend your time flying and not building untill you get your feet wet. Fly a couple contests with whatever you fly now even if its a Nextstar. If you are an E power flyer already your ahead of the game. Go E and go used and spend your time flying.

Check out the adds on the Buy and Sell here on RCU under Pattern Airplanes. Buy good used and I think you'll be glad you did..

Just my opinion,
