I've finished the Top Flite DC-3, but haven't flown it yet. This kit has probably the most complete building directions I've ever seen. Certainly not a beginners kit, but with the directions provided, should be no problem.
I got my package from Tower with two .40 engines for under $300. I finished mine as an AC-47 "Spooky" gunship.
Next decent weekend of weather we get here, It is going to get a test flight.
