That's an entirely unfair characterization. I've seen many different clubs working on many different kit planes, and they all require high-level capability, attention to minute detail, and very little or no tolerance for a sloppy or partial job. It's true that people can start these projects with no experience, but they sure don't end with no experience. Typically people that see these projects through at any level of involvement become experts in some part of the work by the end.

- AWildC182 7y agoI had to weld up tooling for the RV-8 and am currently working on a 100% custom CB-550 ECU. The CB has so far been an easier project... I think you need to check your attitude. Unless you also built a plane in high school, that is?
- ohaideredevs 7y agoNo, was too busy working a minimum wage job to pay for clothing and save for college. What a productive use of time that was. Anyway, I stand by my point. Not that I have a workable solution for wealth inequality.
