Hi Ryan,
I've just started on FP's as well and went for the Baron to begin with.
Its relatively easy to make but make sure you get the bushings and the correct drill bits for it when you buy the kits.
I would also recommend getting extra tubes just in case you make a few early mistakes.
I found out the hard way when drilling blanks with large diameter bits that its best to cut the blanks longer than you need, drill down to the tube length or just a little bit longer and then saw the end off to reveal the hole. If you drill through you'll probably blow the blank, something that doesn't happen too often with a 7mm/slimline bit.
regards, Bill
