Questions from a newbie.
Hi All:
I've held my private cirt for a year now, and it's time to stop renting, or time to start the process of stopping. Homebuilding is an option. Which kit? The more I look, the more I see. I'd really like to hear what you builders have to say as to which kits I should look at. After about two hrs of reading on the BD-4, I have to admit I kind of like it. A conventional design, lots of build options, all metal ( I have a full machine shop ), and can be built from plans and raw materials. However, I can't say that I'm too impressed of what I have read of Jim Bede's operations, and his other designs don't push my buttons. I can't seem to find how many were built, and I have not taken the time to research the FAA accident archive. Does anybody know how many were built, accidents etc? Any BD-4 builders/operators out there? What's involved in getting a cirt for your own design? What would stop me from basing a design on the C-172? How different must it be to escape copyright infringment? Any pointers would be helpful. -- Andrew |
