Our Zenith kits are airframe kits, not airplane kits. While airframe building, you are going to mess up somewhere (at least I did) and need to fabricate a part or two on your own. I have never owned a bending brake, but managed to make a few parts anyway. Either that or you take the "easy way out" and order another part. Most of us are not "easy way out" guys and are somewhat impatient; so we get on with it and do some fabrication.
Once the airframe is complete, though, it is ALL scratch building. That's where the airplane part comes in. Going from airframe to airplane is the most challenging and rewarding, because you are basically on your own. Sure you get advise from EAA chapter friends and this forum, but you still have to decide what advise to accept or not or how. As Pat said, if we are going to wind up with an airplane, we WILL become scratch builders.
What a great endeavor !!
