RE: 1st Kit
I will aslo recommend the Sig kits. If you are looking for a nice second plane look at the BTE Venture 60 kit. It is very similar to the 4*60 as the same guy designed both planes. Bruce Tharp is the guy's name. He took all of the great qualities from the 4*60 and made the plane better. I have two 4*'s and have flown the venture 60. They fly very similar. The venture is just a nicer kit to build.
