The Pete 'n Poke would make a nice plane to build but I'd have some reservations about this being a wise choice for your first kit build. This comment is in reference the the wing mounting used on the model. I have seen two of these (I have not built one) and both builders have commented that the cabane structure MUST be constructed absolutely true and square to the fuselage. When you bolt the wing on you want that wing to mount correctly otherwise your model will never fly like it is supposed to. It's a fun airplane that you may want to keep on the "back-burner". Also, the SlowPoke (I DO have one of these kits) would not make a good first kit to build and fly...the build would be okay, but the model is "short-coupled" as we old timers say and can be a bit twitchy in the wind. I'd still suggest a kit from the choices in my previous posts.

Soft landings.
