The building starts with the vertical stabilizer(VS). For those of you not pilots, The stabilizers' job is to provide stability for the aircraft, to keep it flying straight. The vertical stabilizer keeps the nose of the plane from swinging from side to side, which is called yaw
The plans are designed to take you step by step through the build and as long as you follow the plans ( DON'T jump ahead! ) the build will go smoothly.

| All primed and ready for the skin |
All said and done, I am very happy with the work. The learning curve is very steep and not wanting to mess up is always in the back of your mind. I'm glad Van's has you start with the VS, it is very simple and straight forward. As you progress through the project the parts get more involved and progressively more intricate.
