well I started solo flights two weeks ago and the four star 40 is being built, I decided on it after seeing this http://www.renderwurx.com/rc/sig4star/

Looked nice, I kept his advice and putting 46FX on it, it should fly nice. I am going to use his trim scheme, it is so nice.
the kit is easy built and laser cut parts is for sure makes life easier. If this will be your first kit as mine and don't have any building tools go with and ARF 60, man for the building tools I paid almost $200, can't cover without an iron or heat gun costs $30 2 rolls of monokote $24, trim solvent $6 and the list goes goes and goes.

Well after all I am starting this hobby new and I am planning to built my planes, I like doing so tools will pay of on the long run.
