ok iam going to put together my first arf, it has to be a j-3 cub what is the best. i have a thunder tiger .54 4 stroke but a different one wouldn't matter. what is the best plane for a first time builder. i am flying a thunder tiger .40 tr now.

I like the Carl Goldberg tiger 2 or a 60, both are good fliers and will give you building skills if you go to the kits

I would like to sugges tthe new Sig 1/5th scale - perfect for the engine....but it can be a bit tough if you don't have any previous building experience....laser-cut etc....goes together great, but there is a lot of wire soldering, bending, etc....

I have to agree with sideliner .... Tiger 60 all the way... Fun plane
and good for a second and third plane.. Flys well normally and does excellent inverted.. If you are real comfortable with flying you can do with about half as much diahedral and it will be an easy to fly plane but capable of doing good aerobatics.. If you want retracts see if there is a Tiger 60 deluxe avail some where.. I have both a Tiger ll and a Tiger 60.. I prefer the 60 as it is a bigger plane and as I said, makes a good second AND third..
