Ok, that's fair enough. Will sort a BOM soon. Hoping to reduce the rage of bolt sizes and type used but may forget that if it doesn't make much financial sense! Is it just zinc plated to avoid much corrosion?
Edit: Not that it makes any difference to your suggestions but I'm UK based.

I use eBay for small quantities of fasteners (typically Boltbase or Kay's fasteners), and Westfield Fasteners for larger quantities. I always choose stainless steel because the extra cost is small.

I use BoltDepot.
Edit:
They offer individual and large quantities. I haven't come across any cheaper American supplier that can supply quality hardware. I use their stuff on remote control as well as full scale. They have pretty much every material type and grade too.

You did not say your country.
For most stuff I use FolgerTech in the USA.
They are the only place I found in the USA that has chromed rods at low prices.
I wish they had the same prices on ramps and megas.
They now carry small screws in 100 packs.
I got a big order of screws from china last year, but when I need more I'll likely get them at FT.

Thanks all for the hints. Got a while before I've got through the CAD work I want to do before building.
Yeah, I didn't say where I was from in the first post but did in the second. The non-UK suggestions may still be useful for other people searching the forum for the same information.
For common items, Screwfix will take some beating. You won't find small quantities but you'll get 50 or a hundred for the price of 5 or 10. e.g. M5 x 16 button head screws 50 pack for £2.79. M5 stainless nuts £3.99 for a 100 pack or bizarrely stainless nyloc nuts even cheaper at £3.49 a hundred. [www.screwfix.com]
Edit For small quantities of less common fixings, this ebay seller takes some beating [www.ebaystores.co.uk]

If you haven't picked a supplier yet, check out trimcraftaviationrc.com. They've got good prices and shipping is reasonable.
