Bill, if you actually want to FLY these after you build them, I would recommend you avoid Guillows kits. You should also stay clear of warbirds for a while - You need to learn to walk before you can run, and believe me, flying warbirds is running.

Look into a basic trainer kit such as the Sig LT-40, Great Planes PT-40, Tower Trainer, Etc. (There are way too many to list, ask around)

Once you have mastered a basic trainer, you'll need to step up to an intermediate trainer.

The rest depends on your skills. If you pick it up quickly, you may be ready for that warbird at that point, some people may need another plane or two before they're ready for a warbird.
