I have a great many concerns, and your FAQ does very little to address them. Mostly they concern the absence of recurring costs.
* How do you intend to pay for hangar space?
* What is the time between overhaul for the engine? My uneducated guess would put it at not more than 1000 hours, and quite possibly much less. When this is needed, how do you plan to pay for it?
* Generally, when something breaks (and it will) how will you pay to repair it?
* How do you plan to insure it? How much will this cost?
* How do you plan to hire mechanics to check the airworthiness of the plane? How frequently will this need to happen, and what will it cost?
These are all things that should be addressed from the start. As you do not address them, I get the sense that you have not properly considered just how staggeringly large these costs will be. Or are you just counting on nobody being able to get certification for it?
That said, I think it's vaguely doable if all you want is a non-flying display piece, though hangar costs still need to be addressed. Additionally, I personally am more inclined to give $10 to any of my local air museums which have more planes, now, than to give $10 so that I may someday be able to share a plane in Denver with 4999 other people.
P.S: If you do plan to pull it off, what variant are you planning to get? One of the twin-seat U variants to make training easier?
