Epoxy123 - You'll do fine. Just take your time and be patient. Try to enjoy the building process.

Get yourself a small piece of 1/2 particle board or plywood. If plywood then sand it flat and then use spray glue to attach some sandpaper. Make a couple different size blocks. You can put two different grit papers on it by using both sides.

A tip for those stick joints. First, always cut the longest pieces first. Otherwise you'll end up with a bunch of too-short pieces. When you're cutting a cross brace, lay the stick in place over the plans and mark the cut line using a single edge razor. Just make a light mark.

Cut the piece slightly over size and with a small sanding block bring it close to its final shape. Fit, sand, fit, sand until it fits well. Again, patience is the key. If the piece ends up being too short, then use it for the next smaller piece and try again.

If you end up needing more sticks, then it's just a matter of heading to your local hobby shop to replace it.

Once you get this plane in the air you're going to love it. Any time you have questions, post them here at RCU. Or you can shoot me a PM or an e-mail and I'll help you any way I can.
