Default RE: Help with Starting out

Thank you for the input. When you built the GP PT 40 how long did it take to build? My father has no experience in building or flying as he is nearing retirement I thought this would be a great hobby to start in. We are looking to buy the Trainer kit and the engine that TowerHobbies is putting with the plane is a O.S. 40 LA. The whole deal is $132.00 minus extras (radio and such)
Do you recommend Electric or Gas, as my brother is very focused on the electric and I want to go with the gas powered as the flying club in Omaha has instructors who have leaned towards the gas side and they would work with my father to get him started.

Thank you
