Hi Jack,

Looking at the beginner class but having a hard time finding the right kit for me.  On hobby king and found maybe 2 options:

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20966__Idol_Laser_Cut_Kit_890mm_KIT_.html  (Can skin this with military colours?)

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__43498__Black_Hawk_Models_Phantom_MK_XV_Control_Line_Balsa_533mm_Kit_.html  (picture show gas motor but maybe i can put a battery were fuel tank goes).

Ideally I want something small, wing span around 2ft or smaller for indoor flying in a war bird (ish) type plane.  Slow flying until I master my flying skills.

Maybe you can give me some other options....thanks Jack.

It would be awesome to have Rudi come out to the first meeting!

Ash,  that first kit looks ideal to me.  It would probably only be good for fairly calm days outside, but would probably be O.K. for indoors as you suggest.  The second plane, the P51 is for control line (flying around in circles connected to the plane with control strings... not RC), so the proportion look to be not suited for RC flying, and even if it could be done, it would be for an advanced pilot.
