Default DC-3 for a beginner?

Go to the local flying field and make sure you get an instructor to go with that trainer...

A year or two down the road you will know what you want... Before building the DC-3, you will want to build a couple more kits. It's a very bad first-kit. It's really a pain to build them...

The DC-3 would be a decent first twin...Built right, it is not a hard airplane to fly. Getting two engines to cooperate with all the plumbing and radio equipment working together is another story! The DC-3 should be a couple years and many kits down the road.

Just enjoy that trainer...Keep that DC-3 in the back of your mind though as a long term goal. For all we know, you may completely change your interest and starting flying HUGE aerobatic airplanes...
