In the big scheme of things, the cost of tools is insignificant, and you will later wish you had just bought them all up front.

I see, you got it all wrong thought... I am not trying to make this build on the cheap side and will put a lot more money into it but as of now until the end of may(end of school), I don't have a lot of money coming in so I have to buy only what I need to complete the empennage as the rest will be bought later on as soon as I finish school!
Don't worry about me not getting past the empennage kit, I will finish this airplane for sure, and it's actually the ~4 airplane I am building... was working for a aircraft company before so I had all the tools at my disposition in their shop....
It's just that for now, I wish I could buy them all up front but the school budget ties me to only buy what I need for what I am doing now...
Thanks for your recommendation on the yoke thought!
