I built the kadet lt-25 and had good results with it. its a very forgiving plane and believe it or not, when you kick in the hi rates, is quite aerobatic for what it is.
as far as building this plane, you couldnt ask for a better kit. all the parts fit together, and only requires a little sanding here and there. most of the assembly is like glueing two popsicle sticks together!
if i were you, id think about getting the kadet lt-25 (its a taildragger, but the ground handeling is very forgiving)
