Framing of a kit IS the EASY part! It's not that hard, but you must exercise patience. Cutting can be accomplished using an exacto, and also a razor saw with miter box is very useful! Sanding can be done by hand, and I like to use a disc/belt sander (floor model) to do heavy shaping. I wouldn't use seran wrap. I tried that, and the glue sticks to it too bad, and it rips too easy. Wax paper is your best bet--get some, it's cheap. You'll still have to sand some of the wax paper off of your glued pieces, but that's not too hard. The hard part of all of it is covering, and finishing the setup (cg, lateral balance, radio setup, so on). Again, not really that hard (except for the covering--that's hard), but very time consuming. You'll get the plane all framed up and be so proud that you've accomplished something. Remember, at that point you are MAYBE 1/2 finished! What kit is it?

Oh yea, you WILL need to pins some things down. Some things don't have to be pinned down, but a lot of them do--to keep everything lined up while the glue sets.
