Hi
I've decided to build my first kit plane. I already have a trainer so I was looking for a plane that would be easy to build yet a little more advanced then a trainer. I also have a 40La that I wanted to use on this plane. I was thinking of building the Great Planes Dazzler. But I would like some suggestions or opinions on the dazzler or some other planes that might fall into this category.

Thanks

GP Uproar or Sig 4*40. Two different airplanes but both good second models and not too complicated for building.

I'll be getting a [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFHG4&P=7]GP Rapture 40[/link] this winter to build into next summer. I think it will look pretty sweet with a tinted canopy and different covering than the picture shows. Supposed to be a nice low wing trainer and an easy build.

Hi
I forgot to mention I already have a GP supersportster 40. Basically I'm just looking for something easy to build that I can put a plain bearing 40 on and have some fun with.
Thanks

for a plain bearing 40 try a Sig Midstar 40. They work just fine on a plain bushing 40 or 45. Easy to build and fly easily. The Tiger II or the 4* 40 would also be options. Your sportster would be better with a BB 45 in it. A bushing'd 45 would fly it. But not up to it's potential. Good luck. Oh yea a Grerta Planes easy sport would probably do. I have built or have kits for the above not the Easy Sport. I hear they are fine kits.

I second the Midstar. I love mine

If you're thinking of the Dazzler you might consider the Sig Somethin' Extra. Mine isn't finished yet, but it's been fairly easy to build.

Has anyone built one of these dazzlers and if so would it be an ok first kit to build? I'm looking for a plane to put an LA 40 on. I already have a supersportster with a pro 46 on it.

Thanks

An LA-40 works really well on a Sig LT-25. Build it with dual aileron servos and a nearly flat wing and it's pretty sporty! Balances with no added weight and is just pleasantly overpowered! Put a 11X4 APC on it and it'll do about anything you want.

My first kit build was the Sig Mid-Star and the quality of the materials and the ease of build were both good. I have an OS52 four stroke on it which has plenty of power, but does not have unlimited vertical.

I am building my second kit now, a Goldberg Tiger 60, and have been disappointed in the quality of the instructions and materials. Maybe I expect too much after the Mid-Star. I have a Great Planes Cap 232 for my next kit. The materials and instructions both look good, but I have only given them a cursory look.

I have attached a picture of my Mid-Star in case you are not familiar with it.

I recommend Sig's 1/4 scale Cub or their 1/6 scale Citabria. Current project is TopFlite's Stinson Reliant, SR-9 and thus far recommend it as well. I've had no troubles making sense of their plans and instructions.

Hello again.

What's a Dazzler?
