Default RE: Winter build.

In my opinion, the best kit to start building on is the Sig Something Extra. This kit is almost so easy to build that they joke about is you open the box, toss in a bottle of glue, shake the box, and then dump out the finished airplane. While it's a bit more involved than that, this is by far one of the easiest kits to build when you have no building experience. The instructions are very detailed and will help the beginning builder learn some of the basic techniques that need to be learned when moving on to other kits. The kit is entirely laser cut and it goes together very easy. Also, this plane will fit right in with where you are at with the planes you are flying. This would be your third plane, and after the time on the 4-star you would have no problem flying the SSE. This is one plane that is assured to put a smile on your face. It's an absolute blast to fly. I've had 3 of them!!!

I'm not saying that you won't be able to build the other kits involved. However, they may be a bit much for first build. As was said above, you don't want you first build to give you a bad taste towards building. The SSE will help give you the confidence to successfully complete the other kits that you mentioned above.
