I probaby didn't do it the easiest way. I printed the drawings to size. I taped all the parts down and used a needle to make a dotted line to show me where to cut. Removed the prints and cut everything with a modelers knife. Like Jdoug said, cut oversizded and sand. Balsa sands very quickly with 220. I glued the whole frame together and then sanded all the intersections until everything was even. Another tip is to sand the angle on the stringers especially up front. I used alot of CA. I bought an oz of great planes Medium (any thiner and it will run too much). Anyway I had to get more. I'd take your time and finish this one before you start the next. You'll learnd soo much on the first one and the second will be better as a result. Later
