I will second the stinger 40. The kit is easy to build and the covering will not be that difficult. When you get into compound curves and try to cut out detailed patterns and apply them and keep them straight is not easy for a first timer. Basic block patters and lines with hard surfaces to adhear to are easier. To me it is better to start out with something simple and be sucessful than some thing detailed and be frustrated.

Oh and the one thing you will attain from this process is the pride of the plane is yours. You built it you know it and you are flyihng it and it does not look like all the others. Read study and understand and you will be more sucessful and it will be enjoyable.
