Hi Nick, I'm only slightly ahead of you. I recieved the plans a couple of weeks ago. I already had some longeron material I was going to use for a VP project, but figured if I was going to go to the trouble of building something, I might as well build something big enough for my wife and I both to fit in. I bought 4 sheets 4'x8' of 3/32, to go with mahogany or birch is a personal decision, and a 4x4 sheet of 1/4" birch for the firewall. The canopy from Todds is somewhere between here and Florida, the landing gear is also on the way from Diehls. I bought 2 quarts of T-88 thinking that would hold me for awhile. I'm anxious to get the boat built and on the gear. I had a printing company print out the templates for the A5048/45 airfoil. I thought they were kind of spendy at $120 for the print. I got the 4' by 16' table up day before yesterday. I did all this pretty much without looking at the plans. To go with Wicks or A.S.S. co is a personal decision. I'm not much of a kit kind of guys, so I prefer to buy the stuff as I need it. I'm not in a big hurry for the WAFs yet, as just getting the boat built is my first priority. I wish you the best of luck, and a good build.
