We all start out that way. Go back a few years in my threads and you'll find me cussin' and swearin' at (silver) soldering. I still hate it, but I've attained a certain skill and I'm no longer afraid.
Thanks for the encouragement, I only have a $5 soldering iron and no idea what flux or silver soldering is. The electrical solder has flux in it. So is it more like doing copper pipe soldering? I guess I can Youtube it or better yet find someone to help me.

For the baffle I can do 1/8 balsa The Right bottom panel is hanging on the wall with white glue fillets drying before I put the top leading edge sheeting on. I am in the process of starting on the LAST panel (right top). Then only the top center will be left. I can't wait for my EASTER holiday, so excited to build and fly over this 4 day weekend!!!
