I'm new to the RC world myself, but I have built plastic models most of my life, and control line models several years ago. I went into idle mode for a few years before I got into RC just recently. I did buy Guillows laser cut kit (French Neauport) (sp?) for a practice build. This is my first laser kit, and I must say it is awesome!!! Everything fits tight and straight. I don't know if yours is laser cut or not, but I think it would be a good practice kit to start on. It will teach you basic fundamentals you will use on the real deal. Just my neewbe input.
