Hello from Canada Eh

Rather than a laser cut kit perhaps a better first kit would be a Sig Kadet Senior (kit not the arf) or its smaller counter part the Seniorita. These planes are an excellent start at building a foundation for scratch, or plan building. You’re probably thinking “well I’m past the trainer stage” that may be so but don’t let that deter you, these plane are excellent examples of fundamental building techniques. Skills learned will be applied many times as you progress through the hobby. Do a good job and you will want to finish these girls clear to show off your workmanship. They lend themselves very well to “kit bashing” so you can easily avoid any real or imagined stigma to showing up at the field with “a trainer” by making some subtle changes to the aircraft. In fact do a little snooping on the web and you will find lots of bashed Seniors. The plane as designed is quite easy to fly, in fact it is so easy to fly that is actually quite a challenge to fly it well. Taking almost all the dihedral out of the wing and adding the barn door ailerons as is the case on the Sig arf is a common first bashing step…

A nice little bonus with this kit is nothing other than a decent building boad and the most basic of tools is required. Try one you will not regret it….. bert
