While the 1/4 SIG CUB is not much more than plans and a pile of sticks and sheet wood in a box (but an excellent airplane when complete) something like the GP 60 CUB is a much easier and more modern build. Not one of my favorite CUBs but not a bad project.

The SIG 4 Star 120 would seem to fit the bill being a larger airplane and a decent kit for someone without much building experience. As someone else suggested, I would recommend a smaller first build though just for the experience. Use those first few builds as learning experiences!

It is a shame in today's ARF world that people don't learn building skills along with flying skills. I certainly applaud people who choose to go back and learn those building skills.
