Default Tips for a newby builder?

Read the instructions before starting (preferably twice)

Try to avoid using too much glue. For your first plane I suggest you use PVA/Aliphilactic glue as it gives you time to reposition, take apart if you do anything wrong (which you probably will do, I did, and still do). But use epoxy if told to in the instructions for any part.

Trial fit every thing before using glue.

Come back to RCU if you have any issues. We are keen to help!

So which plane you building? Have you got your engine yet? Have you joined a club to learn to fly?
