SkyChimp I can imagine your budget is <$50.  In that case a cardboard box will do fine.

remember .. measure twice cut once.. and if your using power tool get a grown up to supervise(if your not grown up already)
and if you no remember if you build in the garage make sure it fits through the doors of the house,, and of course get parental permnission..

You could also have a look at this one I found on the web

http://www.62ndfightingfalcons.asn.au/62ndff/projects/cockpit/cockpit.htm

They have an excellent set of plans to download and I am sure you could pull it off for less than $300 not including the Joy Stick

They ask that you email the designer before you build which I don't think is to much to ask, mind you they are the email addresses may no longer be valid as the plans are from 1999

I actually thought that the 62ndfightingfalcons were an AH squad but I cant find them in the squad list maybe I missed it
