Iagree with the others that the F4U might not be a good idea for a first plane.
But don't let that stop you from building one (or two). The more you built the better they will become.

I didn't follow the plan when Ibuilt mine, on a 60-size plane Iused 1.5mm sheeting (instead of 2.5 or even 3mm ... can't remember what the plan suggested).
As can be seen, Ileft the part of the wing unsheeted.
Had a few mishaps during landings (even cartwheeled once), but the wing is still one piece.
