Hello

I am new to building airplanes, and I just bought a Kyosho Calmato. ( My second plane ) The instructions are not very clear to me, so I have some questions before I start. The instructions say to put tape around the root ot the wing, but they do not say what kind of tape, how wide, do I take the covering off before I put the tape on.? I also need to know how to hold the wing halves together tightly while the epoxy dries.? If anyone out there has put one of these together and has any suggestions, Please share them with me. Oops, It is an arf. Any information will be very much appreciated.
Thanks again
Fred
