Default RE: Newbie building help

Foamy,
You're not going to want to hear what I'm going to say, but we/I would be doing you and the Beginner's Forum a disservice if I didn't say it. If you have no building experience building a plane like that from plans is probably going to be above you head. Most plans like what you have expect the builder to have the knowledge to do certain steps, things such as you have asked...
and how do i attach the rudder/vert stabiliser to the rear fuselage assembly?
Most experienced builders have no problems when things like this aren't spelled out in the instructions because we have built enough that we can look at the plans and know the best way to do things. I do understand that the plans you have are of your "dream plane", but in all honesty I would wait for awhile until you have more experience under your wings to build this plane. Pick up a couple of easier kits to build to help get you more experience. A few that come to mind right off the bat would be the Sig Four-Star, Goldberg Tiger II, or Bruce Thorpe Engineering Venture. All of these are great kits to cut your teeth on and start building the experience you need to build your plane from plans.
