Joe, I've always heard on the old school kits it was about three years or so. I'm really curious how much a modern kit, like the Lancair, would take to build. It seems like they come in major component groups, and it's just a matter of attaching them together and adding the extra stuff like the engine, avionics, control lines, etc. The wings and fuselage are composite, so there's not any building to do there. Depending on the model, the kits start a little over 50k, not sure if that includes engine and avionics though. Regardless, I've seen them selling at over 200k, not a bad return on your time, and it looks like one hell of a lot of fun. What have you built in the past Joe?
