I agree with most of the other choices. You can't go wrong with a 4 Star 40, a Tiger 2, or a PT40. I've built all 3, and my vote goes for the 4 Star 40.

Just my two cents, but I think a profile plane might get you really discouraged when it comes to covering. Especially if you've never covered before.

Try to stay away from a .60 size for your first plane. Although they don't look much bigger, I've found they can take a lot longer to complete, as compared to a .40 size. You don't want to lose interest.

Although looks are important, being fuelproof is the most important thing.
