To start off, the plane arrived last week, but I didn't have any time to start the build. With our plane room cleaned of other projects, it was time to start today.
The plane is a very well built airframe that comes with quality hardware. The one thing that impressed me is the craftsmanship of the airframe. I didn't even see one wrinkle in the covering while unpacking the airframe.

The first steps were to start on hinging the wings. The type of hinges for the wings are robarts and the easiest for me to put in.
Instead of using epoxy for glue, I used pacer hinge glue because I have had good luck with that before and it sets up faster than epoxy.
The basic steps were necessary for hinging.
1st. Clean hinges with alcohol
2nd. Vaseline the hinge knuckles so they don't glue
3rd. apply glue to holes and hinge posts
4th. install in wings and align so surface moves properly.
Here are some pictures of the plane from unpacking to finishing the hinging for the wings......
