I second the LT 40.
However, don't expect to save alot of money by building a kit.
Most kits do not include wheels, fuel tank or covering material. Once these are factered in the cost of a kit is not much less than an arf and sometimes more.
That said, a kit will build your skills and you will have an airplane that you can take more pride in.
Another factor in favor of a kit is you don't have to buy everything all at once.
