my friend has a 4* and he is very pleased with it, I know you will be too, anything after the trainer is oh so much better.
and I know what you mean, I was so bored this winter I already built my first glider Gental Lady, and now in the process of building SU-27 by AKM which I purchased on ebay along with 3 other kits which should arrive any day (hey I wonder whats going on with that, they should have been here already)
so I think i'm set for this winter, I just hope i'll have enough winter to finish building them all.
