RE: How to build from plans?
Quinoa,
You can start a few ways. I like to either copy using zerox the parts you will need to have templates for, if the plans do not come with them. You can also use tracing paper, trace the part use a glue stick and put the tracing on some poster board. Gives you a template pattern you can use over and over again. You can cover your plan with a plan protector see LHS, probably not Hobbytown. or I use clear saran wrap. Good luck with your project, and when you build from plans the saticsfaction you get when you bring it to the field will be doubled.
