Cost of CI by A&P for long ez

[Dave Harvey]

What are non builders paying A&Ps for a Long EZ CI?

[Ron Springer]

Between $0 and $1500 (and even infinity for those A&Ps that refuse to do one) depending on who you use/know.

Are you based at Tappahannock? Just talk to Jim Evans or Fred Wimberly. Do you know them?

[Dave Harvey]

Yes. Know both. Neither are A&Ps. So use the local A&P at XSA...

I charge (this year) $1100 for a CI on a simple (non-retract mains) canard aircraft - that covers the first 11 hours of work. Owner assistance is welcome. Generally takes 1 - 2 days. I know other A&P's that charge $150 (who aren't their brother-in-law). I tell people that I can't spit at their plane for $150, and if all they want is a signature in a logbook, go for it. I actually inspect (it's right there in the title - CI) their aircraft. I do about 30 CI's/year, and my customers are happy with my work. Although I suppose if someone's willing to get a $150 CI, they're probably happy with it as well.
