RE: First build.. Advice needed!
here is a tip that no one has mentioned. On certain parts like ribs or unusual looking formers or such either xerox or scan them into your computer. If you scan them into your computer you can print out instant templates if you need to replace them due to clumsy fingers in assembly or crash or you can use them if you want to make doublers for high stress areas of the wing like if you are going to be mounting retracts.
