RE: first time kit builder.... have a few ?'s
Hi Cory,
If you haven't frequented [link]http://www.rcscalebuilder.com/default.asp[/link], I would suggest it. I am in your very situation though I haven't purchased my plane yet. There is a wealth of information and ideas in the forums. Also, if you ask for help there you will get it! Another site I'd recommend as well [link]http://www.rcwarbirds.com/[/link], I hope these are of some help to you and good luck with your build.
Good luck and be well,
Steve
