Sounds like a great group. We have several guys like that. They say, "Bring it to the shop and we'll check it out," and they will help anyone through almost any issue.

Gluing in hinges is one part I have problems with. I had a huge gap in the rudder hinge line of my Big Stik 60. My brother helped me seal it with monokote on both sides and it seems good. When I get stuck I get him to come over, or I haul the problem to his house.
