ads8525,
Have you built a kit before or is this your first? The TF instructions are fairly straightforward. Read and reread them and take your time. Be careful to build on a flat surface and measure carefully when they tell you while building the wing. The wing is really the hardest part and the most prone to having a problem with alignment. The fuse is not bad. See the thread by Corsairjock on mods to get ideas if you want. Also do a search on the TF corsair here on RCU both Juice and Shupack have good threads on this plane with pictures that may help also. If there is a specific question or problem post a question and I'm sure help will be pleantyful. Take care, Pete

Read the instruction manual again and again, until you practically have it memorized. Make sure you understand what needs to be done. Then before you do your next task, read that part of the manual again, just in case you forgot anything.
I've been taking pictures of my TF Corsair and putting them on my web site. I haven't had time to update my website since fiberglassing it, but all of the construction is there.
