I was leaning toward building from a kit, but I have almost convinced myself to go the ARF route. I'm going to wait till after the week of Thanksgiving before buying. I'm not going to be in a hurry to get in the air once I figure out which plane to get. This will be a winter project that I will be able to take my time on building. I've looked at the Tower .40 kit and Arf, Kadet LT-25 kit, and Kadet lt-40 kit and Arf.
