Bob Reed is correct.

$85K is very reasonable for the KIS Cruiser. Mine, equipped with factory new
Lycoming O-360 was considerably less that because I went with the old
fashioned gyros and steam gauges in the instrument panel that I've grown
accustomed to over the past 40 years of flying.

Bob Anderson, who recently completed his KIS Cruiser (and won the prize at
Oshkosh last sumer) probably spent that much because of all the goodies in
the panel, such as glass cockpit, panel mount GPS, angle of attack meter etc
as well as professionally designed interior upholstery.

Gee, tell that to the thousands who are flying their homebuilts. Yes,
some
underestimate the cost but the $85K is very doable for the KIS Cruiser and
if
you don't believe me, I believe Dave Tate who commented earlier can add
clarification.
