Welcome, Stephen:
Don't be afraid to ask any questions here. Stupid or otherwise. I do.
I live in Iowa, and have kit #808. My brother and I are building this
project, and we have the tail feathers done, the flaperons (no cover yet)
and are making good progress on the right wing.
About the flaperons: As you build, make sure that there is no twist built
into the structure. I had a bit of trouble with that, but we got things back
under control. Also, be very aware of how you are mounting the nose ribs to
the spar. The manual is less than a bit clear about this. Just be sure that
you check how the nose ribs fit the top and bottom of the spar before you
drill.
And watch your fingers. The flaperons are where I drilled my finger with the
bit when it poked through the metal. (natures way of helping me remember)
Good luck.
