Default RE: what basic knowledge before starting a kit building

If you can get the Higley's book "Getting Airborne: Volume II" it will be a great help. It is availabe from US suppliers. You must have a flat surface for accurate building. You do not need a jig to build most wings. Cutting is done with a modeling knife with no.11 blades, industrial razor blades and razor saw with miter box. Forget about putting holes in anything- that is not the way to end up with a light model.
