RE: first kit build first experience
top flite kits though well desighned I wouldn't recommend them as fist kits. The instruction usualy glance over allot of things since they expect you to know how to build. it can be done again i wouldn't recommend it
I'd recommend a sig something extera, tower uproar, or gp 40 or 60 cub as a first kit. the gp kits I find explain things very well for first time builders.
