Default Florio Flyer Stunt Wagon Build

So one of the members at the field today decided to clean out his shop...brought several kits/arfs/motors/etc, and was trying to sell them.

One of the kits was a Florio Flyer Stunt Wagon which, I have to admit, I'd never heard of. But I peered around in the box, looks like everything's pre-cut, and it looks essentially similar to the Super Stick I'm currently flying, so i thought "Well...what the heck. He only wants $20 for it, and I'm always told everyone should build at least one. Why not?'

I'm by no means a builder, but I couldn't respect myself if I didn't give it a shot, ya know? Hopefully if I just take my time and test fit everything 45 times, and ask lots of questions, I can...some day ...get it built and into the air.

So...figured I'd follow the crowd, and start a build thread. Pictures will come infrequently and in large groups, since I'm a photography dinosaur, and still adore my 35mm SLR, so you'll have to wait until I decide to get a roll developed. *heh*

I've cleaned off the 4x4 flat table, placed a 1" foam board on it, and am prepared with pins, plans, wax paper, CA, Wood Glue, Epoxy, and HOPEFULLY lots of patience.

If anyone's ever built one of these, I'd love some tips/tricks before I start, and certainly I hope you experienced builders will be forthcoming with info, and tollerant of what I'm sure will be a zillion questions.
