Default First Kit 4*40

Well the UPS guy dropped off my first kit yesterday, a 4*40 with all the peices and parts to complete it. I have a Magnum .52 for power and will only do some slight modifications (open cockpit, maybe remove a bay from the wings). I'm going to try and post pics of my progress but it may be a bit sporadic as I only have a little time after work and have a 3 month old to take care of as well.

I opened the box and dug through everything, not a formal inventory yet, and flipped through the instructions. It's pretty intimidating but I think I can do it. The part I'm most afraid of, of course, is the covering but I have some time to work that out. I'm going to Home Depot tonight to get a ceiling tile for a building surface and some wax paper to go over the plans. Question 1: Do you just fold the plans over to the part you are working on or cut them out? I know you have to cut out a part for the left wing.

I'll post pics of the building area when I can, hopefully tonight.
