During my free time today I ordered the hardware kits from Aircraft Spruce. I was hoping to hold out for a while to order the kits, but as soon as I started reviewing the plans I realized that I would need materials that were not included in the kit to start the first assembly.
Out of the 4 hardware kits, Aircraft Spruce says that 3 of them are on backorder, so we'll see how quickly they all arrive.
