With regard to Terry Phillips' inquiry: I framed several shelves with cheap 2x2s from Lowe's, then used the plywood from the boxes of the various kits for the actual shelving. Plywood gussets reinforce the joints in the framing. The plywood is flimsy, but the components are light, for the most part. I even built a light-duty workbench for the electrical part of the job that way. Building from component kits, I had plenty of scruffy plywood to work with. I also made 2 horizontal platforms to set on top of the wing center section stubs of my 601HD. They make it easier to kneel there while working inside the cockpit area. I realize that that's not an option for an XL.
A person could rip the 2x4s from the kit boxes to obtain most of the 2x2s for framing the shelves. I sold my radial arm saw to make room for the airplane in my 2-car garage, so didn't do that.
As far as sizes, 18x48 has proven pretty handy for me.
