I second the LT25 or LT40. The LT40 was my first plane and kit. They are really nice kits with all the hardware you need: tires, fuel tank, etc. What's really nice is the laser cutting which makes it a really easy kit to build. I can't recommend it enough if you're really wanting to build.

The LT40 should be great with the .60. It has a huge wing for a .40 trainer.
