I'm torn between the Great Planes 40 size Extra kit, Great Planes 40 size Cap232 kit, and GP 40/60 Giles... or am I??? I'm looking for a relatively aerobatic/3D kit, not an ARF, between 40-60 size. I feel that i need to challenge myself with the experience of kit building.
Back to the planes I mentioned above, are these planes equally matched if they have the same engine? I want to be able to have a plane that can hover (3D) along with scale aerobatics. Which plane can do it all?
I'll take things slowly though; I'm not in a hurry. I will most likely save up all the money I can (I wonder where I will work this summer

) and purchase it when I can. By then I'll hopefully have enough for an engine too. I might be thinking too far ahead anyway, but we'll see.
Thanks for your time and input!

BTW, which engine is good for what I want to do in the plane you recommend?
