As for the idea of using a Kit-plane, I have to agree that most of the
experimental planes seems to have 1000 nm range and minimum cruising
speed of 150 knots. However, I have to be honest with you and my tools
hability is pretty limited to putting the family BBQ together and I'm
not sure how easy it is to use an experimental aircraft for business
use

i don't know the what the regulatory situation is in canada, but you might
consider buying a "used" homebuilt -- i happen to like the rv6a for this
mission -- and trade-a-plane has them (used) for $30K-$90K. probably
have to spend $60K to get a good one. all-metal, 160 kts or so on
what, 9 gph? 650 pounds useful less 250 for fuel leaves 400 for
pilot & luggage.

there is always
community with airport every 300 miles or so, so refuelling is not a
problem per se, (I know a guy who went up north with a cessna 150,
took him almost two days...) the goal is more to make the experience
efficient since refuelling is really time-consuming.

trips 550nm or so should be doable in an rv6a (3-1/2 hours), with
a single fuel stop for the longer trips. you'd need to stretch your legs
and take a leak after 3-1/2 anyway (imho).


As for the price range I guest it could be streched if it is justified

Thank you very much for yours comments again
