RE: First Time kit to Build?
Really, just about anything from either Great Planes or Sig make good first kits. Well kitted, minimal 'expertise' needed, and minimal tools required. And little need to buy 'extra' stuff (except tank, wheels, spinner, & covering). Manuals are top notch with many pics, and many helpful hints. Not to mention consise & understandable writing!
As all have mentioned above, as they are all either one of these two companies!
(I'll agree with the SE & 4*)
