Hi there glide03: The very first thing to do is read and understand the building instruction sequence. Next I would do a parts inventory to make sure the kit is complete. Then depending on the type of wood, choose either a bandsaw for llite ply, or a new #11 Xacto blade for balsa. It helps to have a self healing cutting board to use when cutting out the parts. Before starting the parts cut out, label each part to be cut out with the part number if it is not already imprinted. After the parts are all cutout, mount the plans onto a fiber building board(Lowe's calls this stuff "sound proofing board), and then cover the plans over with wax paper.
Following the instruction manual, start building the first part. It would be a good idea to inspect all the wood pieces that this first part is made of for strength, and choose the strongest sticks available to build it. There maybe some very soft building materials that could cause a structural problem when stressed during a flight. A trip to the local hobby store could replace any questionable weak balsa, etc pieces. I use 'T' pins to criss cross stick pieces when building built up stabilizers, elevator, and rudder. From this point on you move through the instructions building piece by piece. I have found Harry Higley's 'GETTING AIRBORNE VOLUME II to be very helpful in building a model as well as all of his other publications. The older RCM FLIGHT TRAINING COURSE manual by DON DEWEY also a great reference manual to have.
