I have discovered that I like building as much, if not more, than flying. I am looking for a new kit to work on. I don't want something that slaps together in a long weekend or two, but a project that can take some time. As I don't have a lot of room in the car, I need to stay with a wing span of around 60 inches and a fuse of <50 in. I really like the WWI scale-type planes, but know little to nothing about who makes the best kits.

Sounds like you might be ready for your first plans build.

Check out the plans services, or scan a few books for favourites and post here for plans. Quite a few of us have stacks of plasn or know where to get them.

There's a much larger variety of plans available than kits and nothing beats the feeling of flying something you built form nothing more than plans.

If you feel you're not ready for this, check out Proctor's VK line. Sounds like the size you're looking for. Check out my VK DR1.
