I am just wondering how much I should save up. I am more interested in building RV-3B however, RV-12 looks like more practical plane. Van's webpage cost estimator doesn't have RV-12.
I also just finished mine. I installed the Dynon single display system. Included all the options (ADS-B, Autopilot, Lighting, etc.).I just finished mine. I would budget $80,000. Parts came out to about $70,000 + tools + inspection + vinyl (paint).....
I have until the end of this year to make my choice. I like RV-3B for its speed but RV-12 looks like more practical plane to own. It uses less fuel but it is slow. Since RV-12 is more $, I will probably be building RV-3. I see myself flying solo 99% anyway.
