RE: First-time kit to build?
Just to give you another idea-look at the Tower 40 size Uproar-easy kit to build-its not laser cut but die cutting is good quality. Box type fuse, easy to cover. The plane is a blast to fly, with control throws turned down it is docile, turn them up and it turns into a fun plane to fly, lands like a trainer. At $45 it turns into a bargain at todays prices. Just a thought, any of the above suggestions will work as well, its just what you want and how much $$ you want to invest.
