Congratulations, Phil. Welcome to the 'club'!
My only suggestion to you, is to order your sub-kits as quick as your wallet allows. The tailcone and entire empennage goes together very quickly! Then the wings come next. They go together pretty quickly too.
Nothing worse than getting on a roll, getting the momentum going, then waiting for weeks and weeks for the next kit to arrive. If I had it to do over again, while building the tailcone/empennage, I'd order the wings and the fuselage. This would keep you busy for awhile. Then when you think you are about halfway completed with the fuselage, order the finish kit and avionics. The engine could be ordered upon starting the finish kit.
I've seen some that order everything at once, and this is ideal if funds allow. If not, the plan above should work out pretty slick for you.
