Hmm wow, thanks for the replies guys! I was actually expecting everyone to jump on board with the 4* 60 but from what you guys are saying, the US60 doesn't sound that advanced of a build. I wonder if I'd ever build a 4* if I don't as my first?

But yes I would absolutely LOVE a US 60. It's my favorite non 3D plane to fly in RealFlight as well. If it flies anywhere near like it does in the sim I'll be keeping one around forever. I haven't 100% decided between the US60 and 4*60 yet, and would love to hear others thoughts and opinions for a first time builder.


RCKen and Alex, just exactly HOW MUCH sanding and shaping is there to do on the US 60 build? And where on the plane, just the front of the fuse? If it's only an hour or two worth on the whole kit that's totally fine with me, even though I wont be a fan of the sanding part. But for me it's going to be the end product that counts. What about the pieces? Do you need to fix and trim each piece, or is it still relatively descent compared to laser cut? Can you forsee any issues on that kit for a first timer?
