Well, I stick by my recomendation for a stick, but the Kaos is also an excelent choice. I don't know about the Tower Hobbies kit, but the last one I built came from Direct Connection. This was a fairly good kit, but the leading edge sheeting was way to heavy and I had to replace it.

A great engine would be the K&B *gold head* .61. It is what I have on my Kaos, and it works great on a 13x6 prop (break in on a 12x6)
