Default Winter Project .60 Plane?

Hey guys,

So in several days of googling (and searching this forum) that I love to do, I just can't make up my mind (or maybe find) a really good first kit to build, thus I need your help.

I'm an experienced flier and fly .10 electric stuff all the way to 30% glow/gas stuff. I'm looking for a really good flying sport plane or 3d of some sort in the end and not just a boring high-wing trainer if you catch my drift. The kit doesn't need to be extremely basic as I am fairly competent in all areas of RC, but definately don't want a hard or daughting kit for my first.

From what I've read, it looks like I'm pretty limited to SIG kits as they're lazer cut. I would really love to build an Ultra Sport .60 (easily voted top flying sport plane of all time) but several guys told me to stay away for a first build.

Here's a couple I've considered so far:
Four Star 60
Ultra Sport 60
SIG King Kobra (havn't researched this much, just saw it on SIG's site)

I would really like to use a Tower .75 engine to try them out as they are extremely highly reviewed and only $100.


What kits would you guys recommend for me? Are there any other good options out there for first time builders? There must be others in my shoes wanting to build first kits!


Thanks guys,
