Hmmm... It must be pretty crowded under there!

In all seriousness, Dave, George and Rog have given you sound advice. Guillows are tough first builds and, unfortunately, one of the more difficult brands to learn to fly. Of the planes listed, I think the HERR Cloud Ranger is one of the best choices with the ACE Simple Series following. HERR produces excellent kits and all are quite flyable.

Probably when many of us got into the hobby, we envisioned ourselves flying something that was slick, quick and flashy - I certainly did. My first choice was a T-tailed Rivets. Thanks to some persuasion and good advice from a seasoned flyer, what I ended up with was a scratch built beater that was ugly as sin, tough a nails and just what I needed.
