I made a link in my weblinks to the EAA video archive but wanted to add it also here in the builder tips section.

No matter what type of airplane you decide to build - be it a composite , wood or metal -  you will always find usefull information in any step of the build process in the EAA multimedia video archives.

Sometimes it's small tips, sometimes basic techniques but always usefull and an assurance you are doing the right thing when you are new to building.

I recommend going through all the video's of metal sheet aircraft building before you start on your empenage kit. It will save you trouble and set bookmarks in your head when you encounter a specific problem. Watch back later for reference.

EAA video's are made primarily by volunteers or kit manufacturers (party for advertising).

I strongly recommend becoming a member, even if you don't live in the United States and I also recommend visiting their workshops when you go to Oshkosh.

Legal Mumbo-Jumbo

It’s possible (not likely) that I’m not as smart as I think I am. (Occasionally, I have moments when I know this to be true. Fortunately, the feeling passes quickly.)
