RE: First Kit prep
There's only one way to get started and that's to get started. Take it slow and read through the instructions before each step. Sig is known for their excellent and detailed instructions so this should be a very good experience for you.
Make sure that whatever you place your ceiling tiles on is straight without bows or warps. It would be a shame to build a warp into the wing. A good, sturdy work bench goes a long way towards a successful project.
Good luck!
