- flat building surface that will take pins. A section of drywall works well.
- pins
- exacto knife and razor saw
- thin and medium CA. thick is useful to have as well.
- CA tips for applying thin CA
- CA accelerator is handy, especially with thick CA. I apply it one drop at a time from a syringe.
- 30 minute epoxy
- sand paper, various grits, and a sanding block
- acetone is great for cleaning CA and dissolving dried CA crud from CA tips. Visit the paint department at Home Depot. Just leave the CA tips soaking it in when not in use. They will remain clog free. CA debonder at the hobby shop is little more than acetone.
- methyl hydrate (a.k.a methanol) for cleaning epoxy. Also at Home Depot.
- a selection of small clamps
- wax paper or other material to protect the plans from glue (Great Planes have a "plan protector" product - it just a roll of thick plastic, but works well nonetheless)
- and heavy elastic bands to assemble the fuselage.

I'm in the midst of one... my tips:

Use epoxy on the dihedral brace to join the wings, and inner ribs (the instructions say CA).
You have time to work, and it will be stronger. You'll need some clamps if you use epoxy.
Same goes for the firewall (I don't recall any specific glue mentioned in the instructions.)
Same goes for the landing gear blocks.

A strip of fibreglass is used to reinforce the wing center joint. This is easy to apply if you have some spray adhevise to hold it in place before flooding it with CA.

I would get a about 6 36 inch sticks of 1/4 inch balsa triangle stock and use it to reinforce the fuselage joints (sides and formers). Just glue them inside after it is all together. If you can get soft balsa it is easier to press into the joint if happens to not be exactly square.
