Know how you feel, duh. if you havn't started yet, I would ask one of the local guys to help you walk thru the instructions, check out the wood- is it all there? have you got your misc tools, like glue, debonder, extra handfuls of straight pins, sand bags, coffee cup? how about your cutting board, etc. protective transparent cover, at least wax paper over the plans. all set --now start working on the fin/ ruder-- its the smallest part to replace. how does it look?? good, now go to stab and elevator..OK, now lets have a report. we will help walk thru the rest of the steps. dick
