You'll need to be able to solder some fairly thick music wire for cabanes and landing gear. You may be able to just borrow from someone experienced, and maybe borrow some tips on doing it too.
I'm no expert on this, but if you go with a regular soldering iron you need some watts...probably at least 80. Might be better to go with a small butane torch. Then, of course, you need solder and flux.
Maybe someone else can give better advice on this.
