Hello, Josh

Most - if not all - of the Zodiac material is 6061-T6.

Exceptions are the nose landing strut, canopy frame and a few other parts.

Thickness is specified in the plans.

Here is an important reference document from zenair:

Good luck

Attached is a spreadsheet which list every part and sub part for the CH650, usrd for estimating metal and layout.  I hope this helps.
