alright, i taught myself how to fly rc (at the cost of many a crash, and several planes). ive been flying now for close to three years, and i am getting the urge to build one. all i have done so far have been arfs, and the itch is here. i have this tendency to jump way in over my head, but that is just me, but i do like to do things right, a perfectionist if you will (kicked my arse so many times during my self training[>:]). here is what i am thinking, and remember, i have no clue to actual building. im thinking about a top flight kit where the parts are pre cut (is this considered a true build?). i have also been reading about covering, i dont want to monokote, i want to paint, so, i need not only all the advice there is in the community, but i also am very interested on how to cover a kit for painting. i have not selected a kit yet, but its going to be in the 60 range, nothing bigger. so, lay it all on me. im just hoping that it looks like an airplane when i am done with it. and i will keep you posted on the progress, the purchase of the kit itself is near. (either corsair, p-47, or spitfire.) SPEAK TO ME THE WISDOM OF THE COMPILED MINDS, SO AS MY FRANKENSTEIN WILL FLYYYYYYYYYY.
