I was going to build in celebration of my divorce too, but maybe I should go the instant gratification route. Hmmm....
I was negotiating for a quick build 7 kit when Pierre called. The real issue boils down to build prices rising while flying aircraft prices drop. It's cheaper to buy than build.

Default Tom's spot on.....

....in that you can buy cheaper than you can build. It really is a buyers' market for yachts, recreational vehicles and airplanes and second homes.

Barnstormers has quite a few RV's and Rockets below parts cost in this lousy economy. If you just have to build, do so because I was talking with an acquaintance yesterday who's retired and bored, so he's going to build.

Regards,
