Lightbulb Ways to get back into the hobby

Hey all,

Need to get back in to the hobby the right way. I left with two projects unfijnished, an old 90's Hangar 9 J-3 Cub and more recently, SIG's Kadet trainer. Both were going to be built with an O.S. 46 engine in mind. But unfortunately some parts for the Cub went missing and are no longer being made. And while I hope I can get it to fly someday (and improve my woodworking skills in the process), it just isn't looking very feasible right now. As far as the trainer goes, SIG's customer service has been pretty non-existent as a few parts arived broken and my fabrication skills are pretty lackluster and so I've also had to write that project off. So that being said, I'd like someone to recommend me a project I can finish with some customer support and has flying characteristics that are relatively forgiving. I have built and flew some small EDFs and EPP Foamies and while those are fun, my ultimate goal is to (eventually) build some 35% scale stuff from EF/3DHS and get into the whole IMAC thing. So yeah, any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!
