Good luck with the kit built maiden. I have built 2 kits (4 star and LT25) and maidening them is more harrowing than with an ARF!
You will enjoy your glow plane, my friend has an Alpha 40 and it is a great flying aircraft.
The size thing is also my problem with electric planes. I just cant afford to fly the size electric i would like.
Thanks. I actually did the maiden flight today. It went very well, better than expected. The COG was perfect and it flew without any trimming required! Right after I finished this kit I swore I would never build from a kit again, but now I'm thinking..........!
You should try one of the SIG kits, especially the lazer cut ones. They go together so well it almost feels like cheating
I would also not get rid of my 4 star 40 with .46 for anything!
