Welcome aboard. You will find VAF to be one of your best resources for answers to questions and when there isn't someone close by to ask they are rarely farther than a post away. I too am a first time builder and already consider my membership donation to VAF to be the best money I have spent yet.
What kit number did you get?
Spend some time while waiting on kits to poke around in here on tips and threads for shop setup, tools, techniques and most important make VAF one of your home page tabs and a daily visit, for information and education, encouragement and a few laughs.
Again welcome aboard.
