Default RE: Brian Taylor Corsair - Going for it!

I have been reading the build thread on RCScalebuilder and have been posting there too. You are right in that there is some great information there. I am making a document of it too so I could read it offline.
Any and all pictures are nice, but I am trying to document the process for someone, like me, that has built before but just not at this level. By that I mean showing the challenging and difficult to understand steps with pictues and 'lessons learned' tips. As you and others have pointed out there are many excellent Corsair building threads out there and I don't want to duplicate them.
I know this kit is for advances builders, but that is a relative term. I have built and repaired many models before. I have built the TF Corsair and did not have any problems with it at all. At what point does one become "advanced"? I feel confident that I can build the rest of the plane (I'm sure I will still need some clarifications, etc) I am just having some difficulty unstanding certain things. For example, I pondered the reason for why I have two #1 spars. Come to find out I received an extra one by mistake. When something isn't perfectly clear I want to ask before I do any cutting and gluing.
I hate to keep asking questions that I know a lot of builders would consider 'common knowledge' but I have to start on these larger kits somewhere.

Thanks to those who support others with the knowledge, tips, and time, I will make it through these challenges.
