I have yet to build a kit, but look forward to it. There are several planes that I want to build. No one offers Jerry Bates 115" Sea Fury in ARF form, so I can guarantee I will. Being new to the hobby, and only flying for a little over a year, I am probably not ready to start yet. However one thing I love to do is ARF Bash...take a crashed ARF and make something out of it...

I took this Hangar 9 Alpha trainer and transformed it into a low wing tail dragger. I ran this one into a pine tree about ten months ago, and have been trying to figure out what to do with it. After a while I just decided I am ready for a low wing airplane, and this would make a good candidate. My first attempt at any type of building, and I think it turned out pretty good.

I can tell you, after transforming this plane, I will definitely find something to build. I am currently working on enclosing my 14x33 screened porch and turning it into a proper "hangar". Cant wait to start on my first real build.
