If the tool budget is tight now, you will never get past the empennage kit. Van's makes it easy to get a hit off the old crack pipe with the tail kit being fairly cheap. 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!
