I had previously asked for recomendations for a first kit and got great responses. Several members recomended the Top Flite .60 P-47. I love warbirds and believe that bigger is better. I've looked at the manuals for both the TF .60 P-47 and the TF giant P-47. They seem to build about the same. If anybody has experience with both I'd like to know if the giant is appreciably harder to build than the .60 size. I'm not worried about flying differences because I need much more experience before I try flying such a plane.
Thanks,

Hello Ruthiesea. I am not sure who you talked too about kit building but a warbird definietly isn't the best route to go. Building a warbird 1st is like flying a warbird 1st. Not going to be that easy. Sig has great kits. I am currently building my first kit and am building the Sig Kadet Mark II
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6781006/tm.htm . I guarantee you will enjoy learning to build a trainer type plane 1st. It will give you the idea of what goes where and they are more detailed. As you get into the more experieneced builds like the warbirds the less help will be given to you because they think you already know what you are doing. Good luck with your build and I hope this helps you out some.
