Seeing that you have flown and were fair at it you may want to look at the MIDWEST AEROBAT. It can be assembled as a taildragger or trike and can be very gentle or very aerobatic, it's a FUN airplane and VERY easy to assemble. Check it out at www.falcon-trading.com and also see a complete review at www.masportaviator.com (menu on left - flight line kit reviews )
Also I agree with some of the above when they suggest you join a club and get some assistance, especially some time on a buddy box, it will be worth it's weight in GOLD. ENJOY !!! RED
