but if your over that stage in your life LOL,
get something like a sig cadet SR. with a big wing that you can do so many things with like put it on floats or if you live in the north fridged parts of the U.S.A. ski's are a fun thing
either way getting into flying is a lot of fun I my self have been training guys to fly for 30yrs. and i still get a kick out of watching guys face light up when they do their first solo
and what ever you do JOIN A CLUB !!!!!! , you will be glad you did just remember your first plane has a crash date inside of every one don't be afraid of crashing think of it as a crash learning experience it can be rebuilt Remember the crash dummies its interesting to see what survived and what didn't kind of like a crash test
and get your next plane ready to go and have fun
SIG Kadet Sr is no longer made, or available, that's ancient history thanks to foam BNF taking over the hobby. SIG kits and ARF's haven't been for sale in over a year now.
I started flying when I was 9 years old, building when I was 11 years old. They can get a trainer from Balsa USA. $290 is a tad pricey, but it's made to be easy. Balsa flies better. https://balsausa.com/products/student-trainer
