To name a few . . .

wood glue such as titebond II is the best glue to use
5-minute and 30-minute epoxies
thin and medium CA glue
different grits of sandpaper
painters dropcloth - the thicker the better - for protecting your plans while building
wood filler
pins of various sizes
plenty of razor blades
razor saw
drill and various drill bits
screwdrivers of all kinds and sizes
A bench vice comes in real handy too
wrenches and pliers
builders triangles and other measuring devises
sanding blocks and bars
mixing sticks and cups for epoxies
something to use as weights for certain areas like fuselages and wing sheeting
various size clamps
paint brushes for applying glues and paints
scissors
rubber bands and tape
files of various sizes
allen wrenches
needle nose pliers
jigsaw comes in real handy

TIME AND PATIENCE


oh yeah, and a camera to post your process in RCuniverse

Sorry, but that only covers some of the basics of building. When the buildings complete you will need in part:
Some type of covering
heat gun
sealing iron
cover socks to cover the iron head to protect the finish while covering
many more razor blades
rags
paper towels
other various tools to your preference

And then - of course - you need the field equipment.

Have fun with your build, hope I didn't discourage you, that was definitely not my intent - just the opposite, I want you to have fun building, I am sure you will want to do much more after this one. Just explaining the essentials I use. You, by all means, don't need to get all that of course. Get whatever you feel you need piece by piece and have fun.
