I agree 100% with Chris. I learned how to build an indoor model with the SO kits from Freedomflight. The kit is self contained and has everything needed to finish the model except glue and knife. Covering is included. Not just covering, but the balsa needed to build a covering frame is included ! I think this is a key point -- a kit that contains *everything* that's needed to get the model built. Getting all the materials needed to build a model is a big hurdle for a beginner.
And the detailed step-by-step build directions is priceless.
What if we provide such a self-contained kit for a LPP or F1L?
