Default RE: Best flying kit

My Widebody 40 was my second kit to build and it is my favorite. I would suggest any kit from CA Models for a great flying plane. A buddy built the WB 60 and I'm building the Epsilon 60 now.

The CA Models kits are the best kind to build in my opinion. They are certainly different from kits from Sig, or Great Planes. This can be sort of unsettling at first, but I got to like how they don't send hardware or give specific instructions on installing all of that, other than the landing gear. They leave that up to the builder and the freedom is addicting. The wings, stabilizer, and fin are foam. I asked a lot of questions from a friend and working with foam isn't very hard. Maybe it's easier than making built up wings. They certainly look and fly better.

I would suggest that you try the Widebody if you have a buddy who can answer your questions about building foam kits. It isn't difficult at all. These are a lot of fun to work with and the planes are some of the best out there.
