As a complete novice I've started to build one of these RCM 15-500 printed the plans on A4 and taped them together.. I chose this model because it looks simple for a first attempt and a bit different to the Wot.
I've cut out the parts on a CNC machine and built the wing in one piece, to keep it straight I used a board and a piece of angle iron.
I've glued every thing with gorilla wood glue. One thing that you need that's not been mentioned is a lot of time.
If you need parts cut out I can do it for you if you provide a drawing and the material.
If you need a fret saw just make one Fretsaw

That's looking good, what are you planning on powering it with John?

As for the time, yep, there never seems to be enough of it, or there is too much of it when you're not enjoying yourself! I've decided it will take as long as it takes. I tend to be very cautious the first time I try to do something like this and it is going to be especially important on this project as I will not have instructions, so I'll be looking at the plans and trying to work out in which order to do things so I don't end up in a mess later.

You should have a lot of fun with that, both Mike and I are using 11x8 props on that motor. Hope to see you with your new plane at the field soon.

Just had this emailed to me - Dremel lookalike with tools. Quality unknown but could be ok for home use.
