Do you have any sort of order of construction ranked by ease of work, cheapness and minimal criticality? That would help a first-time builder to acquire skills on less-important parts, before moving on to complex and critical parts. (Zenair have a construction manual cover that requires all the skills used to build their design, then move on to a tail kit for that sort of progression.)
For somebody who is unsure about their abilities, I'd start with the Tail Surface Kit, then Wing Kit, followed by the Fuselage/Landing Gear Kit. Basically, the same order in which we have them listed on the order form. The Tail Surface Kit has the most measurement and layout, but the processes you'll learn will be applicable for the whole airframe. That, plus parts are inexpensive if you mess something up. The Fuselage/Gear Kit is actually the easiest, but is more expensive. We have some sample manuals on th website, as well. Regardless, it's our job to make sure we are providing the best support we can for our builders. After all, it doesn't do anyone any good if we're not getting kits into the air.
Fantastic. Will get to fly one someday hopefully
Looks like expert work.
