I will take you up on that Steve, maybe new years weekend'ish......I'll email you!

They key word is "MOST" builders are safe.... while an inspection of their work would show signs of good or bad workmanship, I'm just the kind of person that wants to do it myself. I guess if time was the key factor a partial build would be great, but in my case, time I have.

Yesterday I was thinking about "someone elses project" and I don't think I could go that route simply because "I" didn't build it! I would always have unanswered questions about THAT PART of the build..... so, if I'm going to do it... I'm going to do ALL of it! So it will be the plans route for me!

I've seen that one on Barnstormers Kent... that one has crossed my mind more than once! While I wouldn't mind going that route, my amenities won't allow that yet.

I know, it's a newbie question, but I have to figure this out for my peace of mind and the sake of my household budget (nevermind a plane budget). I downloaded AS & S parts list however it doesn't list prices, only quantity of said part. I understand that as prices are constantly changing. I went to their website and under the plans heading http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/kitspages/cozy.php. They show hardware kits, wood kits, fiberglass kits, foam kits, metal kits, epoxy kits, this kit, that kit,and then they have everything listed by "chapter".... my question is what's the difference? Do you need all the kits and chapters, can you just start with the first few chapters, and will you still need the kits at some point, or are all the kit parts incorporated into the chapter sections? I've seen that most start with chapters 4-7.

Woohoo 2015!! I'm ordering plans this year if it's the last thing I do! I keep thinking about it and like I said, thinking isn't DOING! I do have several questions and I will post them under the correct forums... gotta get my budget planned out here.

Kirk here.... I've been a fan of flying ever since I went up in my dads Ercoupe when I was 6 (1974) Was interested in canards back in the 90's, but marriage, kids, divorce, marriage and several kids take priority over toys. It's time to stop thinking and start doing! I'm not gettin any younger!! (Even if I do get better looking every day.)
