As I read the plans, the left and right wing are each one piece, which are joined in the middle to give you the proper dihedral.

RCMAN gave me a tip the other day to look at other kit instructions for answers to my kit build and it was good advice. I have been reading through some other kits and found a lot of helpful hints on questions I have during my T-Craft build. That is if you have the time...
Don't get too used to nice instruction manuals or clear instructions. So many kits on the market include very little help for the builder. To be fair, many aren't designed for novice builders and the feeling is "if you need to ask, this kit is too advanced for you". 
. That's part of the reason I like the Kadet series for new builders, Sig tries to make it easy.

Go to Tower Hobbies website and they have free instructions for the kits sold. You will see the pdf files towards the bottom of the product page. I have a few Great Planes and Sig instructions that have some great info. I also read through them before purchasing a new kit or deciding which kit to buy.
How's the build progressing?
With mine I'm going with a .46 equivalent on 5 cells. That combination works great on a few other larger planes I have like this.
Ok, so, I haven't updated the thread in while cause I've been redoing my room with new beds, nightstands, bookcases and shelves. So now I actually have room to put my stuff. I tried to go start my second wing, but it gets so hot in the garage, usually about 10 degrees hotter then outside. I should be able to get more work done tonight when it cools off tho. Just a quick update.
Tell your dad you will give him back the garage if he gives you the living room, LOL.
The second wing, that's where things start to get BIG! A couple areas to watch - the wing tips and the center section are sheeted. That sheeting is usually installed into slightly recessed areas in the wing so everything is nice and flat when it's time to cover the plane. Pay careful attention to the plans when you're working on those areas. Also note that the two wing pieces are glued together to form a dihedral, as the wing isn't flat. Without this dihedral and without ailerons you're going to have a very short first flight!
On my Turnigy G46 and with a 5 cell battery I'm using a 12x6, which is the recommended size for the motor. Different motors and cell counts will call for different props. Are you going gas, glow, or electric?
My computer died, so im on my moms and will not be able to talk much till i get a new computer. Im getting the http://www.osengines.com/engines-airplane/osmg0548/index.html on friday. I need to work on getting a membership somewhere cause im guessing the baseball field is not going to be big enough to fly this thing.
