Tommie,
we're here to help however we can. I'm sure you'll enjoy the build.
It's not a bad plane to build as a first kit. As mentioned Rich's designs are clean and simple. The parts count is quite minimal. The place where you should spend most of your time (at least I do), is thinking about what you are going to do where and when before doing it - a build plan of sorts. Also, when it comes to assembly and finish take all the time necessary. This makes the difference between a pile of plastic covered wood and a semi-scale Mustang. Of course things have to be straight and true as well but most of us know that.
Ultimately we always do the best we can. I often find myself saying after I'm finished "why did I do that particular thing like that? It would have been better this way"... but that's what it's all about - an excuse to build the next model.
Happy building!
David.
