Quinoa,

If I understand your situation, your have not built an airplane before. Hopefully, things will not be lost in translation (English to Spanish) and you will be able to understand what is said. The info given by the rest is all good. I suggest that you (not necessarily in order);

1. Find a building area to set up a good sturdy, FLAT building table out of the way (basement, garage, spare room). The kitchen or dinning room table may be both sturdy and flat, but you would have to move everything when it is time to eat. Cover it with Ceiling Tile (Celotex), Cork or a Balsa Building board as mentioned.

2. Make copies of your plans, keep the original untouched as possible, cut up the copies to make the parts from. Carbon paper onto plain paper, tracing paper, tracing mylar/velum, xerox are all ways of making copies. Take your time when tracing to make the part as accurate as possible.

3. Use wax paper or plastic film to protect the plans from glue.

4. Use "T-Pins" to hold the parts flat to the building surface. Regular pins can be used, but they can hurt your fingers, are not as sharp (have a blunt "ball" point, so not to cut the threads in fabric vs a sharp "needle" point) and are more diffucult to remove. Don't try to pin through a small part or too close to the edge of a part, you can split them. Pin the part with an "X" shape over the part (small parts), trapping the part at the bottom of the "X" or use weights, clamps or tape to hold the part in place until the glue dries. See Charlie P.'s pictures.

5. Cut out all of your parts that are shaped (ribs, formers and such), making a "kit". Long sticks can be cut to size as you build, save your shorter sticks for in between places. The suggestion of building from a kit is very good, the simpler, the better (and not an ARF, these you assemble and not "build", major sections are built already). Don't try to build a super scale plane first, do a couple of simple planes (like the Javilin) move on to a more complicated plane, (like the Sig Kadet series) and get the experience needed before building the "big" one. Follow the directions give for the first kit or 2 and then you can change things like reducing the dihedral or making a tail dragger from a tri-cycle geared airplane.

6. Use a slower glue like Tite-Bond (yellow glue, carpenters glue etc.) rather than CA or instant glue. This gives you more time to position the parts correctly and you won't glue your fingers together. Use epoxy where needed or indicated in the directions.

7. Get someone experienced to help you build and give you advice. That person may have the bigger, more expensive tools (band saw, scroll saw, drill press, sander) that you can use to cut out parts and build with. And show you how to use the tools that you have. Many planes have been build just using basic hand tools (knives, razor blade, hand drill, copeing saw). See the other posts for suggestions on tools.

These are just a few suggestions, probably the most important is to get someone that can come over (or you go to thier place) to help (guide) you as you build your first plane or 2 or 3. A good place to find help is at the hobby shop or club field/meeting. This same person can also help you (or knows someone) learn to fly your plane.

Die cutting - Using a shaped cutting tool (called a "Die" ) pressed (with great pressure) against the balsa to cut the part out. It is like using a cookie cutter on dough to make cookies.

Laser cutting - Using a laser instead of a knife or saw to cut the parts.

Pillar Drill (British term) - Also known as a drill press in the USA.

Any questions, just ask. Good Luck
