Default First time Build

Hi, I have been flying for a few years now and i have been flying a switch and a few other aerobatic but not 3D planes. I have alot of experience and i am a great pilot so flying the plane is not really going to be a problem.
I would like a plane that is at least 45 inches and 3D. I want a plane that is a kit or something along those lines (basicly i dont want something that is just chunks of wood that i have to assemble completely). I dont really have a clue if
I should go with gas or electric.
So all i really want is a plane that is at least 45 inches and is 3D and something that is already in pieces and i just have to put everythingtogether. I also need a radio and reciever so if you could reccomend that it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

when you say "already in pieces" do you mean an ARF? where you just assemble the pieces? or do you mean pre-cut sections of wood you glue together to form a fuselage or wing?

Sounds like you mind is not completely made up with what you really want, so maybe a good starting point would be to check some of the on-line Mail Order hobby shops like Tower Hobby, Sig, Horizon or Value Hobby and see if something there catches your eye.
