Hi Dave,
I'm a scratch advocate because Zenith designs are simple and rather direct.
Because of that, I'd recommend you try working
with the simple tools first. CNC is a complexity that would require you to
input all the guidance in excess of 100 percent before cutting
a piece. That's not to say it can't be done, but CNC best serves multiple
parts, large quantities. For one plane, the parts are easiest done per
plans with tin-snips, hand drill etc. and would be faster one piece at a
time. When it's time to do ribs, you can cut them out using one template and
bend them on a pair of forming blocks, easily done in little more than a
week of evenings.
Building any Zenith from scratch is great fun with simple tools. If you mess
up something, even after the build, you then know how to replace the parts
without having to maintain a heavy inventory of cutters and a machine.
If you're determined to do CNC, perhaps Zenith would consent to provide some
of their programming to shorten your effort 
Visit my site for some of the how to's if you're interested.
