HomebuiltAircraftChoice
Like you, I am interested in building a homebuilt aircraft. This wikilint page branches off to other information I've accumulated.General Info Pages:
- Index and Reference for many aircraft models at http://homebuilt.org/. This site also includes a lot of fundamental design aids if you want to start designing your own design.
- Aviation topics, including a side-by-side tabular comparison of homebuilt experimental aircraft (see table near bottom of the linked web page).
Pages for my top contenders:
- Mustang II (metal, plans, or choice of kits, $17,210 basic, $27,700 deluxe)
- Volmer VJ-22 Sportsman (wood, plans only, amphibian)
- Kitfox S7SS "Super Sport" (tube & fabric, $19,000 firewall back, $4300 Rotax 912 engine)
- Sonex Xenos (all metal, $20,000 + $6,500 AeroVee 2.1 engine)
- Emeraude (wood & fabric, 140 mph, wide body compared to RV or Mustang)
- PLUS instruments, paint for all
Other Probable Costs, lifted from the Mustang II site in March 2010:
| $17,210 | Airframe and Finishing parts from Mustang Aeronautics |
| $9,500 | midtime O-320 Lycoming |
| $5,000 | VFR avionics (GPS, COM, and transponder) |
| $4,700 | Instruments and electrical |
| $1,955 | Metal Sensenich Prop, spinner, & extension |
