Jim,
Is it practical, possible and legal to build a radio for your own homebuilt
airplane?

Practical? No. I have been in the radio business all my life and I would not
even consider it, probably not even a kit.

Possible? Yes.

Legal? I don't think so.

I can't see paying 1000 bucks for a panel mount unit for a
volksplane.


Use a portable. Fasten it on the side of your cockpit and use a headset.
I have flown gliders for hundreds of hours with a tiny portable on a light
lanyard around my neck, but that may not work well over engine noise.
