For sure some of the measurements are missing on both the CB-1 and Classic plans. I'm building the Classic, but I also have the CB-1 plans. You can have a look at my blog to see how I did my N struts.

Since every build is a one off depending on what the builder used or made up for measurements it's good advice to bolt on the wings and build the N struts in place. The length of the N struts will depend on the length of the landing/flying wires and how accurate the spar fittings were placed.
As far as the welding, I was going to have someone else do the welding for me. He wanted the parts tack welded together. In the end, he coached me to do my own welding. Some of it doesn't look good, but when I get better at it, I can always go back and redo the really ugly welds.
