"I've been ordering (and installing) parts on the KR and the Challenger
recently and I'm reminded that to estimate the cost of building an
airplane you take you best guess, double it, then add a 20% cushion."
Mark Wegmet then said,
"And you'll be 50% short! :)"
All of which is why it makes so much more sense to buy one that's already
built!
Airplanes seem to be one of the rare items that cost less once assembled
than the cost of the materials and components in their unassembled form.
Ironic isn't it that the labor that goes into their construction actually
makes the final product worth less than than the plane cost before it's
been put together, inspected, given a certificate, registered, test flown
and placed in a hangar. How odd!
