whatever rocks your world.lol

most, if not all the planes i've built... instructions starts with the
tail feathers, wing , then fuselage

i think it's to get you in the mood or warm you up to build.
or you'll have pratice working on the smaller sections.
in case you goof..you wouldn't need to replace a lot of parts.

it is best to always do inventory or sort the parts to sections
to be build..most kits give just enough wood.
also inspect the conditions of the parts.
grain going in the correct directions for certain parts.
unless you like making trips to lhs...worst no lhs within area
or crappy selections of balsa
measure twices cut onces.lol

working on one section at a time. helps a lot

i don't throw wood away until i'm done with the plane,now
the wood from laser cut panel and ect..
unless they where the scraps from carving or sanding.
i found myself diging in the trash for diahedral guage,
setup guage and other stuff.lol
