Default Suggestions for first build

Greetings,

I am just beginning in R/C airplanes, and thinking already about building a plane. I currently have little flight experience but I would like to build something that would serve both as a good second plane (I currently have a NexStar) for when I get better at flying, and as an introduction to building. From what I have seen so far looking through catalogs and on the web I think I would like to begin with a kit. The scale planes look interesting, but I'm guessing are a poor choice for a first build. I think I would like to keep the size around .40-.60, but I'm open to suggestions.

Information on what equipment I should have on hand would be appreciated, as would suggestions for books or web sites that could be of use.

Thanks
