One bad Gillows kit will ruin the building experience.... I bought one once and was apauled by the quality of the die-crushed parts so I packed it up and took it back to the shop. I also agree with all the guys saying a SSE or 4* kit would be great, a few not mentioned are the Great Planes Rapture 40, and SIG Astrohog. All these are good first kits, but it seems no one is paying much attention to what size you are asking for... [&:] If you don't have any support equipment for anything larger, or space to store it, stick with the smaller stuff until you are really motivated to move up in scale. I started with 40 size planes and own up to a G62 powered Ziroli Texan, but I am finding I more enjoy the ease of the smaller airplanes.
