pre-cut with instructions. Most searches bring up ARF. I want something to work on for a while. Thank you

In my limited experience, the ARF's are something you can work on forever.

I am just finishing up a Sig four star 60 and it would be a great "first" build. Everything is laser cut and it is a well designed kit that goes together quite fast. You will get the full experience of different glues for different parts of the build and the instruction manual gives recomendations.

I've built four planes in the last year, a true scratch build where I cut every piece of balsa, an ARF where I fixed, fixed, and then fixed some more, the Sig 4* kit, and two half and halfs (wings from the ARF and a scratch build /home designed fuselage after crashing the ARF's beyond repair). I haven't flown the Sig yet, but the Half and halfs are great flying machines. I'll find out how the 4* flys late this week.
