Buy any trainer kit.
Kits such as the 4* builds pretty much like a trainer, actaully easier than the eagle II becuase you don't
have to build the rear stabelizer. Trace the wing ribs, formers..ect or keeping the rib's sheet is always good pratice.
These kits are still fairly boxie with minimal sheeting to form the deck. People bash the 4* all the time.
An SSE kit will give an idea of sheeting the wing.
You'll also notice or learn simple things as how the direction of the wood grain should be facing for certain parts.
Example..for the shear web the grain should be vertical..the same as the vertical stabilizer.
If the wood grain is horizontal on the vertical stabilizer..when model nose over during take off or landing, the
vertical stabilizer will break or form cracks horizontally.
If the grain is horizontal for the shear web..the spars will just pull it apart or comprass it to form cracks..making
the shearweb useless. Without shear web your model is not going to last too long during flight.
Geartplane kits such as extra300 caps232, are boxie constructions with sheeted wings and decks.
kits such as the sig cub will test your patient..it's stick build up not sheets sides.lol
Once you built the kit ..maybe you might trying cutting all of the parts yourself to have another kit.
You have the plans and parts that you can trace off of.
twins..oh yeah . There's plenty involve such as engine harmonics vibrations.
Way cheaper to purchase an arf than a kit...way cheaper to purchase a kit than to scratch build.
yeap...start off with an arf..lol if you crash it you didn't built it and it won't hurt so much.
I have a second .60 extra 300 and I'm about 10 kits away from putting her together too..have a nice OS 1.20 all ready for her too
