I've built one ARF trainer and now want to try a non-ARF kit. I love the Cub/Aeronca Champ/DeHavilland Beaver style planes and would like to build one similar to those. Lot's of Cubs around so something a bit different than that would be cool. What kit would you recommend for a first timer? As far as size goes something 1/4 scale or larger is what I'd be looking for.

How about the Unionville Beaver? Or Otter? Or Norseman? Can a rookie kit builder put these together without them coming out looking like a balsa banana?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
