Default Hi, new to RC

<input type="hidden" id="gwProxy" /><!Session data><input type="hidden" onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" />Hey everybody. My name is Steve. Iam a pilot (full size haha), have been for about 5 years and have around 800 hours.My family (brothers and Dad) runs a buisness that makes Bi-Planes (WacoAircraft in battle creek). Anyway i am thinking about getting into RC and i know that i like the idea of building a plane from a kit. Ido have a lot of experience wood working (for clear reasons) so that is not so much an issue

What are some good trainier "kits" out there. Iam looking at http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXBSB8&amp;P=7 the Elder 40 from top flite.

Iam wondering if anyone else here on the forum is a pilot.

anyway here is a photo of our factory floor. Come to think about it if there are any scale guys out there that are building a YMF-5 i would be more then happy to supply measurments and photos. Iwould like to build a large scale 33% of a YMF5 someday, but for now i think i am going to cut my teeth on somehting a bit more realistic. (or at least something that i wont cry if i crash)
