I am currently learning to fly, but would also like to try to build a kit. What do you people think would be a good, electric kit? I don't want anything too fancy, and just want something that isn't too hard to build. Any suggestions?

Great Planes kits have always been pretty simple to build (in my opinion). Their instructions are clear and detailed enough for a first timer. I checked out the TowerHobbies electric kits section and saw a little Ryan STA that looks pretty neat. The low wing could be a nice step for someone who is learning/just learned to fly. Keep in mind that the smaller the model the harder it is to control. A 5 mph breeze is nothing to a full sized Ryan STA and very little to a 1/4 scale Ryan, but to the little Ryan kit that tower sells that 5mph breeze is like a 70mph gale!
