Hughes500E: Thanks for the info. I'll take your advice and go slowly. It's not like I have to get the SE ready anytime soon. By this weekend, I have 3 planes that are operational at the same time. I have really enjoyed the build so far, so I'll just apply the same approach. Small steps at a time, and like you said, make sure I'm enjoying the process.
I'll post pictures and "lessons learned" when I'm done + I might have to ask some questions between now and then anyways.
By the way, the wheel pants. Do people spray paint those. I fly on a grass field. Will the hold up or shouldn't I even bother with putting them on?

thanks,

tycho
