      I figure the cost at about 1/3 , but the big factor is that you can buy a sheet or two at a time and your in business. That said, mine will cost more then my estimate as I am going to purchase all the welded parts and main gear ect... There is a material list at http://www.ch701.com/ and there is one in the Zenith builders site too. Add it up for your self. Or buy the plans and make yourself a Daves sheet metal brake and build a rudder. Add up the costs and get a rudder quote for the the rudder at  Zenith builders site. I have scrapped one rudder tip, two rudder main spars( build the brake, you can not form this part) 3 stabilizer ribs, one elevator rib and one front stabilizer spar, so call the scrap 1/2 sheet of $80.00 per sheet material. Try to find a local source as shipping will eat you alive, compared to the material price, if ordered in small manageable "batches".
      
      
      Ok now I see that I have written one long run on paragraph again, so I guess I'll
      go have another cup of coffee.... [Shocked]  :)

      Thanks for all the good feedback.  Don't have enough burners or hands to do a proper
      heat/torque adjustment on them so I went ahead and put on the two-piece
      conversion ends from Zenith.   They'll add a little weight over the one-piece
      units but they definitely go on nice.
