Default RE: Where Have All The Kits Gone ?

Hi all - First Post!

I have given up looking for a kit for a decent price down here in Australia. I want to build a trainer plane and the only one I have found is a PT40 and it costs twice what a similar ARF will cost??? Then I would have to buy the coverings, glue etc etc. It would probably end up costing me 3 times as much as an ARF. I built a trainer plane about ten years ago from kit and enjoyed it. Flew it a couple of times then other commitments got in the way and I sold everything. Having a look around, Ican't believe the way this industry has headed and changed so much in ten years. Anyway, it's probably a big ask but I have decided to try and build a plane from plans. I have ordered a few different sets including the RCM Junior Trainer, the PT40 and the Instructor. Once I get them, I will have to decide which one is the easiest to build???
