Build a cheap Champ?

Somebody at rcgroups mentions that you can build a Champ from parts and save some money over getting the complete kit.  Here's the parts page at wholesale trains and my best guess as to the parts needed.


$ 2.99 150mAh 1-Cell 3.7V 12C Li-Po for Ultra micro helis...
$ 1.99 Propeller with Spinner(130 x 70) for Champ, Hobbyz...
$ 2.99 Decal Sheet for Champ, Hobbyzone, HBZ4913
$ 3.99 Main Landing Gear for Champ, Hobbyzone, HBZ4918

$10.99 Gear Box with Motor for Champ, Hobbyzone, HBZ4930
$ 5.99 Complete Tail for Champ, Hobbyzone, HBZ4931
$37.99 Fuselage with Electronics for Champ, Hobbyzone, HB...

Update: Veccstr and leethetreeguy shows the smallest purchase to build a champ:

HBZ4920 - Main Wing for Champ, Hobbyzone, HBZ4920 - $7.49
