Ooooh boy am I gonna get murdulated here. I suggest you build them and keep them for a bit. Those planes do indeed fly great. But they are not for a beginner. You should get a trainer first. A kadet LT-40 would do it. Make that a community project. Get another engine (another 53 wouldnt hurt). It would allow you to get back into the swing easier. And teach her as well. You are a lucky man. You could build the kit together. At the same time, Know what I mean, know what I mean, nudge, nudge. Good luck with the BB planes they are goodies. And please do not kill them with a nose wheel, please!
