I've been eyeing mid power for some time, but one thing that always daunts me with first attempts is "What would I absolutely know not to do if I'd done this even once already?"
So, for example, I can do a decent job on any LPR using a sharp knife, fine grit sandpaper, and my own personal "right" glue, wood filler, and paint schemes.
What do I not have? What don't I know how to do? Is it just a question of more fiddly assembly requirements- Spitfire with your "perfectly float this 1mm thick paperboard circle halfway into a tube until the glue sets," I'm looking at you... Should I learn how to solder? Should I become comfortable with adhesives that could adhere to me more quickly and permanently than CA? Do I need something that can cut through more than 3/8" basswood? Did I mention I have a "bit" of a hand tremor?
