RE: First Kit - Four Star 40
Looks good. You'll enjoy it when you get to it. You'll be able to enjoy it more if/when you upgrade the engine. I started with the same motor and upgraded to a 50SX. What a difference! the LA is pretty low powered compared to others of the same displacement.
I got noticeblybetter performance when I went from a Master Airscrew prop to an APC prop.
