I learned how to build and fly with SIG. Built many kits and have several under the bench. Those kits will turn anyone into a top notch builder and prep you for scratch building. I had a 15 year love affair with my Astro Hog until I shredded it in some power lines. It's replacement is waiting to be built. The Kougar flies fantastic and lands about as slow as an LT 40. Kadet Senior has got to be the easest plane ever to fly.

The plans and instructions in the kits are wonderful. Granted, there is some building to be done but as far as I'm concerned, ARFs are about as exciting as kissing your sister. Go to a scale contest and ask the pilots what they cut their teeth on. I bet over 90% of them have built several SIG kits.
