Laminating is layering wood together. Such as ply wood.
There should be pieces of wood, that you need to glue together for the wing tips.

You can use CA or wood glue. I recommend using medium CA for beginer. It'll give you more time.

There's variouse types of control rod you can use.
You can use wood dowls.

For a model that size. I'd go with stronger servo

Maybe start with an easier kit, so you won't mess up this one.
Just get a cheap kit. A piont .15 size such as House of balsa or a glider kits as a static display model

Maybe a .40 TH kit or may kits such as the 4*, Tiger..etc, To give you experince. You can use
standard size EQ to fly it.

All i know is...the first model i built was a cub...it looked good, but I don't think it was flight worthy

If you were an experince builder, if you didn't want to mess with laminating the wing tips...You can just use balsa sheets,
cut it to the tip's shape. Then drill liten holds. Besides, it'll be stronger incase the tips hits ground sometimes.
