G'day guys, i'm a relatively new rc pilot, i have only been doing it for about 18 months, started on a boomerang 40, went to a Seagull PC-9 and now have a Black Horse Extra 300 (.55 AX) which i love. All 3 planes are still intact, a few hard landings but no major crashes.
I don't get a great deal of time to fly and i almost always fly by myself which can be a little boring. I really enjoy the build process though and want to build a kit plane, i'm reasonablly confident in my building skills, a lack of tools will be my main problem to begin with i think.
I'm wondering what kits people might suggest, it doesn't have to be overly simple or quick, i don't care if it takes a year to build, that is the idea, i would like something with good instructions and plans though with no major design floors i have to work out myself.
It's going to have a OS .46 AX in it and i'm open to ideas. I want something that looks nice more than anything, i like scale aerobatics planes and warbirds, i've also considered a bi-plane. I need something with either reasoable sized wheels or a plane i can fit large wheels on as i fly on a rough grass strip.
Any suggestions guys?

My first plane and kit (that I'm building now) is a sig 4 star 40, very easy to build etc. But i think you can just about build anything you wish, just do enough research on it, start a thread and then you'll have way more support than needed to complete it, building is not that hard you just have to think before you do. Oh and All I used was a Drill sandpaper, hobby knife and Glue (Thin and Medium CA) oh and 5 min epoxy... I use a cheap Black and Decker (clothes)Iron for my covering... You can Improvise as you go, That RV 4 looks Great! GP also makes an Ultimate 40...
Hope you get what your looking for
Cheers
