your have not built an airplane before
That´s not true. I´ve buit two trainers but the aim of my question was to learn the best way/technique/tools to build.
Anyway, I want to thank all of your advices/suggestions. I have learnt a lot with them.
One more question, by using T pins am I damaging the balsa?
For those who are also interested in tools here is a good thread

Firstly, the entire quote was: "If I understand your situation, your have not built an airplane before." This indicates that he did not KNOW your experience level.
You'll have to understand that we have no way of knowing what you have done in the past because you did not tell us.
You say that you have built 2 trainers. Were these kits or ARF's? There is a world of differences there too. You leave us to guessing and making assumptions. Sorry if any of us offended you.
Don't use more t-pins than you need THROUGH the wood and not near the edges. There are also different sizes of pins. Try to use the smaller ones when penetrating the wood. Check around craft and dressmaking shops for the finer pins.
