RE: Building From Plans :'(
Benny I think a high wing trainer is probably a good bet for a first plans build... get a copy of your plans, maybe two so you can make your parts templates without ruining the originals.. The most important thing to learn is what the plans designer is saying with pictures..study them close so you see which part overlaps what..which way the grain should run on parts, is it ply? light ply? balsa? most of the plans tell this by the way they draw the grain on the plans. The real key is study them VERY close, build it in your head or so that atleast it seems to clearly fit together. Often times parts drawn on the plans are slightly wrong and need fitting or even replaced with an altered part. The real key is to see the problems before you have them..thats the skill you will learn along the way. I won't lie..without good plans and instructions from the magazine you would be better of with a kit first ...but HEY its about fun, and thats will be for you to find out for yourself...
