I wish I could say there was one, but alas, there is not.

But you MUST start with a trainer. Going from C/L to R/C is a big jump. You do have one big advantage already in that being a flier, you know about engines, glow plugs, control surfaces, hinges, etc. But you still need to learn the basics. You wouldn't want to bash up that nice war bird would you?

The good news is, many of the newer kits practically fall together by themselves. And since you have all winter to wait for flying weather, pick up a good kit like a Sig LT-40, or a Great planes PT-40. You can start building now and be ready before the snow melts.

Once it's done, there are a few war birds that you could attempt as a second plane. You can start building that one as soon as you're flying the trainer, and make it your goal to be ready for it when it's finished.

Once you are flying your trainer, you may decide to stick with it for a while until you're confident enough with your flying skills to break out the "nice one", but at least you're getting stick-time with the trainer.
