Default RE: Help a newb

Alex7403 list is really good and complete. I suggest the the ball driver style hex metric and standard Tower Hobbies has them cheap and they come with holders that mount to the bench. I spent a couple hundred getting everything at once it was definitely worth it. I didn't see a covering iron on his list get both the small finish type and the big one for larger surfaces get extra socks for the bigger one. I also bought the trim tool- totally worth the money made perfect edges in the covering. Alex listed a hinge slotting toolI bought the power model very unhappy with itone of the few tools that I didn't like. I use Tower for all this stuff its always in stock they got good deals and shipping is super fast and reasonable. As for pinning balsa down I covered my build table with Celutex ceiling tiles masking taped them together and to the table then covered that with wax paper-works pretty good. Have fun.
