Default First Kit Build (4*40) Prep

Just got my tax refund and have clearance from the accountant (wife) to purchase materials for my first kit. Just wanted to double check with some more experienced builders on my list of purchases:

4*40 kit
Futaba flight pack w/ servos
1-1/4" T pins
Foam
Spinner
fuel tubing
8 oz fuel tank
30 min epoxy
Main wheels and tail wheel
22" bar sander
Dubro tail wheel bracket
Crystal for the receiver

Stuff I have already:

Thin and Thick CA glue
A couple clamps (I know I need more, can you recommend some cheap ones?)
rubber bands
Sandpaper (various grits)
Hobby knives
Masking tape

Stuff for the future:
Ultracote
Engine

I was going to get the 48" Great Planes building board but I think I'm going to try the ceiling tiles to save some $$. I'm pretty nervous about starting my first kit so any help or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
John
