Default RE: What is a good first kit?

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: x-small">my first kit that i built and paid attention to was an RV-4 from great planes. i love it and still have it. i have an O.S. 40 FX with a bisson pitts style mufflerunder the hood and the only thing sticking out is the 2 pipes on the bottom. it's a awesome build, takes time as you would like (but not too difficult), and is a lazy flyer on sundays, or i'm guessing with the 46AX, quite the hotrod. it is a taildragger, you can build it with flaps or without, and it is semi-scale. takes 2.5" wheels, and is just beautiful, if you ask me. right now i'm building a sig smith miniplane. a bipe. more of a stick build and some soldering required. other than that, yep. pics of the motor/muffler combo and RV-4 in the middle of recovering after some moving damage.</span></span>
