- SOLAR_FIELDS 9y agoCan you really get a functioning single prop with new or decent functionally usable used parts that is completely flyable and safe enough for regulations for under 100k?

- hedgehog 9y agoIn the US there is a category called "light sport aircraft" where there are some examples under $100k and many under $150k. https://generalaviationnews.com/2015/10/12/four-lsa-under-96000/ https://generalaviationnews.com/2015/10/12/four-lsa-under-96...
- volkl48 9y agoThose are also prices for a new aircraft, used go lower.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 9y agoEnough economies of scale to make this kind of business pretty much unviable? Maybe. I’m pretty sure you can still buy car kits from car kit companies that are more expensive than a good Honda because hobbyists enjoy building cars from “scratch”. It does decrease the market value of the proposition sitgnificantly though if you are only focused on hobbyists.
- ryanlol 9y ago$100k isn't particularly cheap for a DIY kit plane. Planes are cheap, it's everything else that's expensive.
