The investment doesn’t build up until the late stages of building with engine, avionics and interior/paint etc. Engine and instruments, if purchased, may well be parted out if the builder abandons his project.
Ok; a fair point. I didn’t realise the airframe cost so little back then.
OTOH, once you buy the engine you do need to finish it and fly it fairly soon, otherwise you end up with an engine which is devalued because it needs an overhaul.
Correction. Verhees Delta plans are of course not €4k a piece, but €400 a piece (NOK 4k).
Here’s one kit that’s definitely going to be completed and flown by the builder! Moving to the airfield for final assembly and test in a week’s time.

Me too! Actually got the CofA two weeks ago and first flight last Saturday.
