Most adjustments are substantially related to changing cost of materials. The more significant increase that David referred to was on the RV-3 and RV-4 a few years ago and was related to cost of manufacturing and support given the lower volume of kit orders. We had to make an adjustment to not be underwater, so to speak.
The RV-10 is currently the second most popular kit. No volume-related issues currently with that one.  We're just working hard to keep pushing them out the door!

Thanks that all makes sense to me. I figure if I can save during the build effectively then I will have more budget for that avionics and engine another poster mentioned. Being cross border I?m also looking to protect myself from increases that ultimately increase the import fees and taxes also. It?s a double hit unfortunately.
Thanks for all the info guys.
