Hey guys thanks again for the sound advice. ; ) Yeah I do want to go with the "kit route." I just think there is something awesome about making a flying machine from a "pile of sticks" and then seeing it fly for the first time. (And also it seems to impress the wife that I have those abilities to build something like that.) lol Me and a friend of mine built an Airtronics Q-Tee back in the early eighties. We were both about 13 - 14 years old. It came out awesome but I never flew that little plane after it was finished and I ended up selling it to a future boss I had. Still miss it though! I have always LOVED aircraft and aviation. Have a passion for the old WW1 & WW2 warbirds. I hope to get the Eagle 2 and I look forward to starting the build.

I guess I kinda picked that one over the others because I thought for a trainer, it looks the most like a "real" airplane. PropellerHead built a BEAUTIFUL one here.
