When you build a kit you invest a fair amount of time so its important not to build something thats to far beyond your skill level and your club buddies should be able to give you some guidance there. A 1/4 Sig Cub is pretty easy to get flying with a little help at the begining but the 1/5 scale and smaller are a bit more difficult . If you have a computer radio you should have some mixes that you can use to help you cordinate your turns to start with but its a good idea to get used to using your rudder anyway . I have my Aileron - rudder mix on a switch so I can turn it on or off . As has already been suggested you can easily build an easy to fly sporty fun plane like the Tiger or the 4 star and kit bash it a bit to make it yours . I built a Tiger 60 tail drager and colured it like a Space Walker and every body thought it was a Space Walker at first . It dosent take much to change the personalaty of a plane. I put a Buzz Liteyear doll in my 1/4 Scale Taylor Craft and the Kids love it . The most important thing is that you are having fun . I built an Elder like Tom Suggests And it is easy to fly and very cool looking . It was not the easiest kit I have ever built ,the round nose turning into a square fuselage was a bit difficult and the little gussets on the open frame work was harder than I thought it would be but I got it done and it looks great and flys great .
