Has anyone ever compared the kit price vs. all the parts in that particular kit purchased individually. I am sure there is a bit of a kit discount. In the interest of not shelling out $15K all at once for the fuse kit, I was considering buying a few sections at a time. I am building slow, and paying as I go. No rush here and a free and clear aircraft when I am complete.
My thought is rather than have downtime while saving for the next kit, keep building a few sections at a time. This would keep the process moving forward. Who knows, Vans might not even allow it.
I know there are some parts needed early for fitting (i.e. main gear) that will not be actually installed until later. There would also be a ton of little things (hardawre and such) that I would need to count quantities for.
I am going to send Vans an email tomorrow, but I was curious if anyone has already completed this exercise.
Thanks!
