Well, Ken, I did the step in Post #3 and read the instruction manual from cover to cover and studied the plans. Gonna read through the instruction manual again tonight and look at the plans more closely and study real good.
There isn't a better way of saying it than that, but read the instructions. Yes, it is dull reading but this is probably the most important thing you can to do help ensure successful build.
Actually, Ken, I find the reading of the manuals to be really fun and inspiring. Right down to the point of downloading manuals from planes I will never ever build, just because I love reading manuals and seeing the build. I love following the build of planes and reading the threads here about kit building - I can't get enough.
You are really being thorough with your thread here, I LOVE IT. You said you were gonna be thorough but I guess I didn't believe it would be this thorough. It is going to be really easy to follow when I do my build.
Keep up the great work - can't wait to see more.
