As you see in the parts list, with the initial 15,000-dollar project there is about $86,000 in parts alone. that's before ther recent aircraft spruce and other places having huge increases in price. if you had this plane done at our shop, it took 790 hrs. at $75 per hour, that's 59,000 in labor. before you start the whole (you can't get your time back argument) go build one,,, find an equal, or get an older lesser plane and convince yourself they are the same. Most planes that have this spent on them are not for sale. i am letting this one go as I have other projects to do and customers planes. being offered at $90,000 delivered
