in general
Cutting the wood yourself is not that hard. Takes a fair amount of time but the nice part is that you get to select all of the wood yourself. The last plane I did, a Pepino Albatross DVA had a lot of similar wing ribs so I started with a 1/4" ply template, top and bottom, and stacked 1/8 " balsa in between. The idea of using the disc sander worked out well with stacked ribs. Also using a bandsaw or a scroll saw for the ply formers is required. If you have a Scroll saw, a bandsaw and a disc/belt sander you have all you need. Then you can build anything you can get plans for.
The most important thing is to have fun.
