RE: First Kit suggestions
Every time I see a Cub like that I get all excited about building one. Beautiful!
I have read the build manuals twice for the TF P-51 and P-47 giant and .60 builds and if I'm being honest with myself, I probably don't have the necessary "basic" skills to build one of those as a first kit. I am sure their are certain assumptions in those instructions that this isn't your fist time around the block and I don't want a $1,500+ bird that looks and flies like dog turds. A few of you have recommended the 1/5 J-3 Cub from Sig and that may be the best route.
I am glad I asked instead of blindly buying a warbird kit.
