RE: 1st build looking for a high wing
for a 40 size try RCM by Global. Super EZ build. Nose wheel but EZ to convert to tail dragger. agile enough to please even an experienced flyer. 60 size try the Right Flyer by SIG. Fairly EZ build w/semi semtrical wing. Good flyer. Cubs are great flyers but take offs and landings needs experience. Good luck
