First I agree with jjscott above, IF you want to jump back in with a scale build go with aTop Flight Kit, that being said, also agree with Jim that they are NOT what you want to start with for getting back to flying.

May I suggest an alternative since you like WW-I aircraft? Grab a BUSA Eindecker 90 (http://shop.balsausa.com/product_p/417.htm) Easy to build; gets those building skills back, easy to 'dress up' with scale details. And most importantly VERY easy to fly. Almost an IDEAL scale trainer. I've been bouncing mine around for 4 years now without a glitch.
