Van's training kit is ideal to try to know the tools and techniques that will be used during the construction. The kit is made of two sub-projects : a control look-alike assembly and a small assembly of only three parts.
I first assembled the small three part project and made my share of errors : wrong diameter holes, dimpling on the wrong side, assembly without removing the plastic protection, bad rivets.
The second part went a bit smoother, but there still were a few errors.
All this is useful to find solutions and also to get some training in removing rivets.
