Default LT-40 is underway

Hey folks,

I have begun my LT-40, I am about 1/3 of the way down the wing in the placement of the spars. I have a long way to go.
This is my first kit ever, I have never even worked with CA before until this. I am doing everything slowly and have to say that so far it is quite easy.

One concern that I have. Since this is my first kit, I am learning and picking up skills along the way. As soon as I learn them, I apply them to the next step and get better and better. The part of the wing that I have constructed is quite good, but is not 100% perfect. I am having to make minor adjustments in the length of the shear webs for the spars to fit right and I am unsure whether the quantitiy of glue that I am applying is correct. With the typical bag of mistakes that a beginner makes, do these planes typically turn out well in the long run and turn out to fly well?
