Hi.
I am not new in rc but i want to start building kits.
So what do you think will be more easy for me?
Think that i have never built anythink and also i want price not to be more that 70$.
Because if i will make sth wrong then......
Any suggestions?
Also pics will be appreciated.

What type and size of aircraft are you looking for?

I think for someone who is already a good flier, and wants to start building, an excellent first kit is the Sig Wonder.

It's small, cheap, and it builds easily enough to give you a good taste of what the building process is like without being too simple, or too over-complicated.

And it's a blast to fly!

For electric kits, try http://www.stevensaero.com or http://www.mountainmodels.com. Both companies have very easy to build kits at reasonable prices and that fly very well.

Hmmm,i am not actually interested in electrics.
I am looking for a low wing like 4*40 or a 3d-profile that can build easily!
Any option?[&:]

The 4-40 would be a good choice.

I'll second the 4*...Other suggestions:
Goldberg Tiger
Sig Fazer
Sig Somethin' Extra
It depends on your flying ability... The 4* is pretty much your best bang for the buck!

Many 3ders might say a Mojo or Burrito profile would be the way to go. I'm on the verge myself but look at it this way, you're only really building a wing!

Well, actually there's a fair amount more building on any profile than just a wing.

The SIG Somethin' Extra is popular and countless of them are documentet here on RCU.
I've built one and it's an super easy build that goes together fast and flies good.
The detachable wings are great for easy storage and transportation.
I would really recomend it as your first kit... At least there wont be lack of knowledge and support here on RCU )

Check out the Tower Uproar-easy to build-will teach kit fundamentals-fun plane to fly-40 or 60 size-$44-$60.

Sig Somethin' Extra is a lazer cut kit - so parts fit is excellent. Goes together quickly, good flier.

A Tiger 2 Is A Great First Kit.The Fuse Is Lit Ply And Easy to Build.There Are No Suprizes In The Wing.Take Your time And Enjoy.

fazer is the profile version of the somethin' extra. cheaper too.

Hi.
I looked tiger kit inTowerhobbies and it is a bit expensive,i think,for first kit.
And 4*,something extra are too.
But do you think i can build a kit like the something extra?
Isn't a bit difficult for a first builder?
Also i don't know much of sanding,and i think this plane requires a lot?

Ostas, here in Europe you can buy the SSE from Germany.
I have bought my kit (and other kits) from this store: [link=http://www.hoellein.com/]Hollein[/link] (SSE cost €83)
Order the Oracover at the same time ~5Meter will be enough. (Pick two colours and make a simple scheme to keep it less complicated)

The SSE is really a beginners building kit and fun to build because you make progress really fast.
There's not many pieces in the kit and they are all laser cut for great precision (Think jigsaw puzzle).
There's an instruction book telling you exactly what to do, step by step...If you read English good it's no problem to follow the instructions.
A minimum of sanding is required, you only need to go over it with a sanding block to make sure there's no sharp edges before covering.
(OK, it's a pesonal preference, some builders sand alot, some don't, it'll still fly good and it's more a matter of what quality you want for the final finish).

Go for it and have fun building, This forum will support you if you have questions.


Basic building supplies to start with:
-----------------------------
-Flat surface, I use a MDF board with foam insulation ontop. This is flat and the needles attach nicely to the foam. 1.5x1.5 meter is enough
-Wood glue, thin and medium CA, 30min epoxy.
-Pins
-Tape
-Hobby knife, exacto #11
-Small saw
-Sandpaper and block to wrap it around, can be woodblock or foam, doesn't matter as long as you get a flat surface to sand with.
-Metal ruler and pen
-90 degree carpenters angle
-And for us Europeans, this is a life saver:[link=http://www.hobbico.com/tools/hcar0482.html]Hobbio builders ruler[/link]

Ok.I will buy one and when i will have it in my door.
I will ask for HELP if i want to.But i am sure i want...
So in a few days,i will be back with my SSE.!

Hi Test005.
I got in the site you told me(www.hoellein.com)
,but i don't know very good Deutsch,
so where should i go to purchase my kit?
Should i fax my order?

You can E-mail, fax or call them and use English language if you do't speak German.

From main page:

-Enter
---US-Importe (Here's the SSE kit)
---Online catalogue (Here's Oracover)
---Bestellen (Here's fax number, phone number etc...)

Also they don't have an order form to fax my order for something extra?

Just fax them what you want and payment information.

Hi again.
How many something extras you own?
When my kit will arrive can i ask you for assistance?
Also do you have any pics of your airplanes?

I have built one SSE but I will build another one soon.
This plane is fun and easy to build and I want another one as back-up if I kill this one.

Here's some pictures, building info and a video of my plane:

Of course you can (and should) ask for help if you need tips or feedback as you build your kit.
You can carry on in this thread and tell us of your progress and I know you will recive help and support from me and more experienced builders to finish your plane.
Since you are not new to flying and planes you will have much easier than a complete beginner. You know radios, engines and how to set-up an ARF don't you?
This is the same thing, you only need to make the ARF first


Have you thought about what engine to use? A .46 twostroke up to a .70 fourstroke seem to be good.
If using a .70 fourstroke there's modification to the firewall and new landing gear needed... For simple installation and to use the stock landing gear I recommend a .50 twostroke or .52 fourstroke. If you're on a budget a TT.46 or OS.46 will be fine.
On mine I use a .70 forstroke and it has crazy much power, more than I need. It's fun, but hardly necessary for general sportflying....O, well, it's actually fun with power!

Oh,yes i know from ARF's.
I have a Hobbico Avistar [was my trainer] and recently bought a Hangar 9 Corsair.Also Tuesday shipped to me an OS 91 FX to be installed in this warbird![8D]
Hmmm, i am thinking about an OS 61 FX?
What do you think?
But i am thinking and OS 46 AX!
The only thing i want is unlimited vertical!

Look around on the forum and read SSE building threads to see what engines people have on their SSE's.
If yo prefer twostroke engine you might want to consider these (I belive any of them are perfect for the SSE but have no personal experience with them):
--------------
OS .50sx
Webra .50gt
Irvine .53
