I second the Mid-Star 40. It's a very easy build and a nice flying plane.


Here is a good build list

1st a kit easy build boxy plane like the Mid-Star or the 4-Star.

2nd another kit of one with more curves like the Super Sportster

3rd Scratch build from plans! Get plans for another plane in the same class as your first two. Learn how to make a parts list, order wood, acquire hardware, engine/motor. Cut your kit. then assemble like the first two.

Do this and your will have the skills to build any of 1,000s of plans for RC planes rather than the 50 or so kits left on the market.
