Just to give you a flavor of the instruction book, the wing construction reads like this (the wing is built over the plan, right panel first, then left panel):

Pin the 3/8" x 1/2" bottom spar
Install the ribs making sure they are perpendicular and square to the plans
Install the 1/8" x 1/4" trailing edge
Install the top 3/8" x 1 3/8" sheet trailing edge

etc.

Not quite as much information as what is in Ken's thread! However, thanks to the LT-40 build and other threads here on RCU, at least I know what the instructions are talking about. All measurements come directly from the plans. I love the description of building the left wing panel. Only the right wing panel is on the plan so the instruction booklet says to turn the plan over and rub the area of the wing diagram with a piece of soap to bring out the plan detail.

Should I go to Kinko's and make copies of the plan? I use pins to build so the plan is going to be full of little pins holes when I am done. The plane is mostly sticks and sheeting so buying the wood and building from the plan should be straightforward if I want to build another one.
