cheap, durable, homebuilt aircrafts- myth or truth?

Well as far as i know the concept of home homebuilt aircraft is very
vague because it would work only the aircraft controls are very easy
to understand or a person building it a pilot himself, else, either
the aircraft would crash or it wouldn't take-off. The second thing is
that if they are factory made then such aircrafts would be too costly
to be owned by a common man. Is there really any cheap and durable
homebuilt aircraft?

A USED certified aircraft is the USA is USUALLY cheaper to
purchase than constructing an equivalent NEW homebuilt.

One can USUALLY buy a used homebuilt cheaper than
a comparable one can be built new.

How about a cheap, dusty, corroded RV3 kit with chickens and rats nesting in
it? How much would THAT be worth?

_MORE_ than that cheap, dusty, corroded RV3 kit _without) the chickens and
rats nesting in it. After all, there is fertilizer value in their byproducts.

This statement isn't exactly true. As per usual Bob didn't do his
homework. Yes you can buy a used, certified aircraft for less then
completing most homebuilt kits. Example, I can buy a mid 60's Cessna
150 for appox. $18-20,000 and fly today. But look at what you get, a
powerplant that is 40 years old, been rebuilt at least twice or more,
and timed out. Add $15,000 within 2 years. Seats that are worn to the
point of replacement, at least one instument will need replacing
immediatly, and one at a time within the next few years will need
repair or replacement. Although the person selling the plane will tell
you "all a/d's have been done, it has been my experience that there is
always one not done. Not to mention what was missed "accidently" on
the last anual. I hope you get the point. After 4-5 years of building
a plane, you have a brand new plane that will probebly last you a
lifetime. Own a 40 year old trainer for 5 years and tell me you spent
less money and have any thing worth what a 5 year old, one owner plane
is worth.

Isn't it ducky to know that Mr. Parker has the market
cornered on truth, justice and the American way?

Happy New year to all.....
even the petty malevolents that cannot resist one
last cheap at Unka BOb before the year closes out.
Surely, Lou is seen as a much bigger man for it.

He's right. Certified parts and keeping an aircraft certified requires
outrageous costs. But with an experimental you can still do it safely and
reasonably. And not get shaken down in the process. If I had to use a
Dukes or Weldon boost pump with my injected Continental, it would cost me at
least $800. I'll use one from the automotive suppliers, for $30 or so.
Mr. Parker is a ducky, and keen-thinking, sort of a guy.

And Mr. Bonomi is funny.

Oh, you pooah, piddyfu' widdle avuncuwah, but hewwish monstah.

I marvel at how even the most carefully worded post, such as your
earlier post in this thread (replete with emphasized adjectives no
less), can attract the inevitable uselessnet nit-picker. In this
case, as is often the case, the nit-picker didn't actually refute what
you said but worded his post as a refutation anyway ("...not exactly
true... didn't do your homework"). Ironically, as is also often the
case, the nit-picker's post had more true nits than his target post.
Just another day in uselessnet.

End Rant Mode

Happy New year to all.....

Yes, happy new year!

They are no less durable than factory-built aircraft.
