If you haven't built any plane before, a Top Flite AT-6 might be too ambitious of a project. It takes some skill to assemble an RTF and just a bit more for an ARF; but a different skill set to build a kit. I built a Sweet stick and Falcon 56, thirty years ago when I was 16~17 years old. No computer forums to help back than, just patience, studying plans, reviewing the instructions and careful building. Winter's coming. You have 5 months to build a kit. I had built some free flight models before those. Build yourself a Sig kit ... 4 Star 40 or Something Extra.

I think I will start with building and putting together a Ready to fly by installing the receiver and tuning it up all myself and then move onto a ARF like my P51 only next will be a TF At-6 Texan that I will build myself and like you said that will teach me more than I could possibly imagine. Thanks for the suggestion it did put alot of ideas in my head.
