Welcome aboard, Joel
Take a look into CH601.org, there's oodles of info in there.
There might be some data or pointers in the matronics archives as well.

Hi Joel,
The material lists for scratch building an HD can be easily misunderstood.
If you do wish to build the HD from plans (less kit), you probably want to
put together a list that works just the components you want to do first,
like the rudder, the stabilizer, then the elevator and then wings. I did the
fuselage last and left purchase of that aluminum out of the equation until
it was needed.
There's little to be saved by buying it all in one chunk. The thing you'll
be surprised to know is that one can use up to 30% more material than
planned-for because of "educational mistakes", quality issues, drawing
errors, more mistakes etc. I had to scrap nearly all of my .016 because the
sender, Kansas Air Parts had put heel marks across the better of 5 sheets.
They did correct my billing and I ultimately used .020 as alternate with
exception to ailerons, in places I thought would offer better resistance to
handling and spectator curiosity. Always have your aluminum sent coiled and
protected for best results. Never boxed and shipped flat!
I'd recommend you buy sheets that match your build lengths and avoid an
excess that doesn't give you a cutoff that can be fully used elsewhere. I
have several material lists that I will forward to you off list.
If you need forms, I have a complete set of HD bulkheads, rudder,
stabilizer, elevator, wing rib forms for both HD and HDS, dies, fiberglass
molds for wing tips, gear box covers, wheel pants and a gear fork bending
tool if you're interested. There's too much stuff to list here, but you
could do another 3 or 4 planes with these forms.
Check into my scratch builder's site, "macsmachine.com" pictures and journal
to get a feel for what my 5-1/2 years building were about. I do miss the
build process mistakes and all. If you have other questions that I might
help you with don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Larry McFarland
