Extrait
Several of the major kit manufacturers (Zenith, Vans, Sonex, and RANS for example) recognize the issues needed for taking such a big plunge into building an aircraft. They have addressed these challenges by creating smaller, affordable sections of the aircraft for you to build before deciding to commit to the whole thing. With this method you can “try before you buy” with a less expensive subkit to experience and evaluate the effort it takes to build at your own pace. The minimal financial investment required reduces risk and lets you explore the possibility that a full aircraft build could be in your future. If building these parts does not meet your expectations, it will have been a small price to pay. Life is too short to wonder if this endeavor is right for you!
