Thanks a lot for all the advices. I now think I will get a Sig Kadet LT-40. It will be either an ARF or a Kit but I'm not sure about the later. The reason is that I don't have a table I could use to build it so I will have to buy a table and all the required items to build it ( maybe including the magnet system ) and that may get expensive if I only build that one. Since I'd like in the futur to buy a Mustang PTS and a Seawind and that both are not available as a kit I'm not sure it will be a good idea ( read investment ) to get all the equipments for building. I know that you don't build to save money but rather for the fun of doing it but will I ever build any more plane ? I can't answer right now and that's why I'm not too interested in getting the kit version.

Whether or not to build a kit is YOUR decision in the long run. Just a couple of points on that though. IF you have any knid of a flat table you can just flop a piece of cieling tile down on it to build/pin on, works great. No table at all? Go to local home improvement store and see if they have any hollow core doors that are damaged. Cheap and flat. Lay accross a pair of chairs or something else. The biggest thing about the FIRST kit is all of the little things you need to buy, some of which you will eventually buy anyway just to maintain your planes. Saws, pins, covering irons and small tools (which you may already have) to start the list.
Make your choice. BTW - there are a lot of Mustangs out there that are kit built and MUCH nicer than the PTS.
