Kit building
I want to build a model from a kit. I want to build something more than just another trainer. Any suggestions on what kit would be good for a persons first attempt?

Kit building
One of the best kits for a first time builder is the Four Star 40. Its also a nice flying aircraft, capable of lots of aerobatics, yet not a big transition from a trainer.
The lazer cut parts go together so easilly, we often joke about: "Open box, pour in glue, shake. Plane falls out." Its not quite that simple... but its as close as they get.

Black,
there's a similar thread in the 'building' forum. Can't remeber the thread title, but it's up there. Someone else is loking for a 'good starting kit'
have a look-see.

Fun Kits to build
My $0.02 worth
Some years back I built the Sig Astro Hog. Very easy to build, and it is in my opinion an excellent model as the next step up after the trainer type, or just a fun plane to fly. On mine I installed an OS 90 FS. Take off run was maybe 30ft, excellent slow flight, 6ft span, balsa.
