Dank,
Sounds like you're building from a plan. It's not hard to do, just a few extra steps. To get started, though, you need to make sure on a few things:

1. You need a good, FLAT working surface. I use a hollow-core door. This is a must. Cover one side with something that will accept pins (ceiling tiles, cork. There are lots of choices)

2. Get a couple copies of your plan made. That way you can use one to cut out templates for your parts and have the other as a spare

3. Have lots of wax paper to cover your plans while you're building. Lay in a supply of t-pins and hobby knife blades too.

4. Make or buy several sizes of sanding blocks. Have a supply of sandpaper from 80 to 220 grit.

5. Be choosy with your wood. Avoid warped sheets, bent sticks, balse that's too heavy or too hard.

6. Cut out all your parts first. Gang sand identical parts (like wing ribs)

7. Fit it together before you glue anything

8. If you find yourself getting frustrated, take a break, clear your head and then go back to it

9. Take your time, keep it straight

10. Join your local club, find a mentor, ask lots of questions.

Hope this helps a bit. E-mail me if you get stuck, and post a picture. Let us know how you're proceeding.
Best of luck to you.
