As I near completion and final inspection I decided to add up all the receipts I kept during the build.
Total cost: $52,138.23 which does not include the cost of an engine since I had a brand new one from my previous project. The cost of that engine was $24,800 making the total cost of this project $76,938.23.
Superior was #1 in total $ spent @ $24,800
Van's was #2 - $24,169
Aircraft Spruce #3 - $14,500
Surprising to me was $4045.34 in shipping costs! WOW
So you have a baseline, my RV8 is equipped with Xp-O-360, FP wood prop, Dual Skyview 7", GNC 300XL, GTX330, Dynon D10A, HS-34, Dynon Auto Pilot, MD41, VP50, 4-1 exhaust, Todd Canopy, Stewart System Paint, dual infinity stick grips, LED NAV/Strobes, Halogen Landing/Taxi lights, Skybolt cowl system, Classic Aero interior...
