SIG LT-40
Greetings,
I have a SIG LT-40 with an OS FX .46 engine. I have been very pleased. (I'm not intending to start a debate on trainer or engines, just my opinion).
Anyway, you'll be flying pretty high at first, so wingspan is GOOD. The LT-40 has a 70" wingspan.
And, like everyone says, don't worry about pretty, it won't stay that way. But eventually you'll begin to treasure your battle scars.
I would also recommend AGAINST building a kit the first time out. Unless you have all winter to work on it. Many of the experience modelers on this board consider that to be heresy but I think they are just full of crap. I'm going to build a kit on my second, but if I had tried the first time out, it would have taken months and I would have been afraid to scratch it.
Just have fun...
