Thanks for the kind responses and encouragement! I read the entire post from RCKen on his LT-40 build and put it all into a word document, printed it and put it into a binder so I can refer to it easier during my build. I am an old A&P Mechanic (ok, I'm only 47, but it sounds better this way...), so the idea of being very careful when working with an airplane construction or repair comes a bit easier. When I picked up the box from the store, the guy at the register said "Gonna have it done by next week?", I replied "It'll be done when it's done, I'm doing this one right...". I remember the beginning of RCKen's LT-40 build he talked about reading the manual multiple times, which I think is a great idea. I was also planning on getting the plans duplicated so I have the originals for future repairs. I assume that the plans have been folded (I still haven't opened the box, don't want to until I have a place to build, don't want to possibly loose something) and not rolled, so there will be creases. I remember reading in one post that mentioned ironing the plans to remove the creases. What setting on the iron do you recommend? I am thinking the lowest heat one? Should I cover the plans with a cloth (like you would with a delicate cloth item to prevent burns)?
