RE: Winter Projects
For choosing I would look at what you want to do with it. If you want to just go out on a nice calm night and mess around hovering flat spins and such I would get the Funky 40. If you are into a little more precision flying but still want to have fun go with either the wide body line or the epsilon planes for the 60 sized and last if you want a more scale plane pick anyone of there extra's and you will not be able to go wrong with any of these planes.
They build very easy. My friend Dewey framed a plane up in less then a week. He said it was like a big jigsaw puzzle.
