Default RE: 1/6 Royal Corsair Blacksheep Squadron Build

I'm not a very good mechanical kind of guy but I will give it a try. I will definitely need to ask more questions about it, but that's the great thing about RCU!

I have a Dremel and a high wattage soldering gun, but the problem is trying to find them. For the move to our temporary home, the Mrs. and her brother packed everything and put it in storage. Even though I asked to keep my tools close at hand and easy to find they ended up getting buried! Geez... Oh well, I couldn't complain too much since they basically did most of the moving while I was at work. But, I made sure I got all of my plane stuff first tho hahaha

I found a local Kinko's that will print the plans for .50 sq ft.
That is approximately 138 sq ft (depending on how they cut) or $69. Here is how I arrived at that and correct me if I am wrong (I rounded everything up):
Page Temp00019 - 36.0 x 77.6 (rounded up to 78) = 21 sq ft
Page Temp00020 - 36.0 x 77.0 (rounded up to 78) = 21 sq ft
Page Temp00021 - 36.0 x 77.8 (rounded up to 78) = 21 sq ft
Page Temp00022 - 36.0 x 77.7 (rounded up to 78) = 21 sq ft
Page Temp00023 - 36.0 x 98.4 (rounded up to 100) = 27 sq ft
Page Temp00024 - 30.0 x 97.6 (rounded up to 36 x 100) = 27 sq ft

Anyway, I'm excited to be a member of the squadron and am looking forward to the pictures of everyone's progress.
Are you planning on specifying the building steps? For example, build the fuselage first, elevators, etc. or is everyone just going to do their own thing?
I'd prefer to watch the experts first then attempt it...
