wbflyer,
slowglowflyer has great comments and is spot on. It sounds like you have the aptitude to build, and Deadeye offered a good solution. I would strongly suggest building something to be successful with and will fly good. There is more to building than meets the eye!! It has great rewards. Start out slow and learn, then challenge yourself.

First build planes; Sig Something Extra, 4*XX (40, 60, 120, I would recommend the 60), there are alot of good laser cut kits with GOOD instructions; Sig, Great Planes are a few. I would even offer building a trainer (PT 40 or 60) as they build simply and still fly good.

You mention you have been flying for two years, congratulations. Warbirds can be tricky to fly where as the planes previously mentioned are easy to fly and offer great performance. I must admit, scale planes typically don't fly as fun as RC designed planes.

Go for it!
