Touch-n-go's and an occasional loop suggest a trainer. So you want a kit that is:

Pilot skill level - beginner friendly
Builder skill level - beginner friendly

That can either be a traditional high wing trainer like a SIG LT-25 or SIG LT-40 (actually a 60 size plane that is designed for a 40-sized engine) or a low wing trainer (wing has fair amount of self-centering dihedral) like a SIG 4Star40 or SIG 4Star60. The SIG kits are very first-time friendly. Excellent instruction manual, laser cut wood and the results are very good flying planes ANDexcellent customer / technical service. You have a question during the build - call tech support. You have wood quality issues - call tech support.

Your decision - engine size: 40-size or 60-size. Typically, the bigger the plane the easier they are to fly AND the bigger the plane the more "breeze" they can handle without taxing the pilot's skills and increases the number of days that you will feel comfortable flying.

There are PLENTY of build threads on RCU for both the LT's and 4Stars - another plus.
