While at SnF I was talking to one kit manufacture about the very nice aircraft they had on display. The usual, speeds, fuel, range, etc. type of questions. Mid conversation an elderly gentleman walked up and interrupted (very rudely, I might add) and asked how much for the kit. The sales guy gave him a number to which the old geezer replied, "Is that for a kit or a flying airplane?" The young sales guy said that was the kit price but if he paid him $60K on top of that he would deliver a flying airplane.
This wasn't a completion center talking; it was a sales rep for the kit company. Didn't these guys learn anything over the last few years?
That just burned me up so I walked away before I gave both of them an earful.
These guys put all kit manufactures at risk, including Van’s.
