Default RE: Building my first kit

Kitbuilder, Im covered there already. Ive got my Trex 450 heli that I fly a few times a week and coming next friday I should have a trainer. Its a ARF nexstar?, basically its a high wing easy to fly capable of some very mild acrobatics. I bought the rest of the electronics needed and I believe the plan will be learn to fly this plane and then take the electronics and motor from it for the Mustang. Hopefully I dont become to attached and have to buy more stuff!

I finished joining the elevators today after drilling the holes for the elevator wire joiner. Things seem to line up perfect with the plans and I used 30 min epoxy on them. Bruce, your right, I bought the 6 min epoxy but I cant really see using it when the 30 minute gives you more time. Im currently using CA but I will look into the wood glue. IM still waiting on hinges to come in so I will be moving onto the wing. My work area was a little frustrating tonight. I know it needs to be perfectly flat but when I gave the dow a good look there were spots where it diped down maybe .5mm. I wound up turning around the whole table to find an area that was perfectly flat for the wing. Am I being too picky or is .5mm going to make a different on the wing surface?
