I started with the LT kit but I would not recommend it again for first timer unless you want experience with building instead of flying. My second plane was the Armidillo from Airplane Factory. It is nearly indestructable with Coroplast plastic wings and tail assembly and ready to fly in 3 or 4 hours and all parts except engine and electronics are included. You can upgrade to sport plane later by adding a cheap smaller wing.I love the LT and it does fly well but I have more time in building and fearing crashing than in flying.
