Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I can see that once my kids get to that 8
or 9 age mark (and up) the cash flow will probably be minimal.

Hard to say at this point. Finances are always a tricky thing. I own a
small
business and do okay. I'm neither rich or poor at this point. However, I
do
have a lot of 'irons in the fire'. There could be the chance within the
next
year or two that I could get my licence. A few things have to fall into
place before that'll happen.

My oldest kid is 5, so I think I have a couple years before the real big
expenses start rolling in. However, with the fact that I'm only 33, I feel
this is what's going for me. I have already agreed with myself that this
project will take many years to accomplish. I'm in no panic. I love to fly
and go whenever I get the chance, however, I'm truly looking forward to
the
building portion of this project. I'm a true 'jack-of-all-trades' and come
from a long line of the same. I love to build stuff. In many ways I often
look forward to the build of any project rather than the final outcome.

Looking forward to this.

Cheers,
Lyle


Then you have the exact right mindset for being a homebuilder.

If you want something relatively new, pretty good 2 seater performance,
reasonable cost, good plans and company support.....

Look at the Sonnex (Sonex?) kit planes....I was researching this same topic a
year or so ago....and I pretty much decided if I went the metal and rivits
route that would be the plane I would build....

I think the RV series are probably BETTER planes.....but it looks to me like
the Sonex would be cheaper and significantly faster to build....

take care
