Tough first choice for a build and a flyer. If you want the experience of building go with a trainer from Sig Manufacturing. The Senior Kadet is a great kit and a first trainer to fly. Very forgiving in the air and a joy to learn the basics on. RC Uni is a great web site with a lot of very talented and experienced pilots and builders. Listen to what they have to say it will save you time and money in the end. Welcome to the hobby.
